you can also thin epoxy with lacquer thinner to make it flow better. Mix the two parts first then just add a few drops of thinner and your good to go. More thinner ..well it gets ...thinner.

Bill, You read my mind about the best glue for wood that might not be perfectly de-oiled. But I'd be interested in knowing why you don't recommend poly otherwise. Any others' experiences are most appreciated too. Trouble is, most of the time when I see a glue joint that sticks out like a sore thumb, I have no idea what was used and therefore what to avoid... except for the J-B Weld jobs, which you must admit is nicer than carriage bolts and farmers nuts. Thanks, Keith

In my experience, neither Titebond II, nor poly glue is anywhere near as strong as Acraglas. Also, and someone with a chemistry background can explain this better than me, epoxies like Acraglas, that take 24 hours or longer to come to a full cure, are MUCH stronger than 5 minute or 1 hour epoxies. It has to do with the length of the molecular chains that are formed during the curing process.
