Need glue help

[Tomanydogs]

OMErrr. My bowl flew out of many hands when I was sanding. Need to glue it back together no time to make another one. Errrrr!!!!!!

I’d like to know which glue would work best. I have Weldbond and I have Carpenters glue. 

Please help, I’m very sad right now. 

@Scrappile I dance when I’m frustrated too, dancing up a storm right now  I’ve even incorporated some of your moves

Story of my graceful life.  I dance for joy, and you think I dance because of frustration! 

Sorry about your bowl.  This stuff happens... I think either glue you mention would do the trick.

My laugh dilly on your post was for your dancing comment,, not because you broke the bowl.

When this happens to me & it has, I just glue it back with yellow wood glue (TB2)

[WayneMahler]

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I'm sure all of us have had that happen along our journey. I would use regular wood glue  and then re sand it .  Be careful on the amount of glue , and clean up the squeeze out as best you can. Wrap with tape and let sit over night. Best of luck.

Thanks guys. I’ll use carpenters glue. 

@Scrappile I dance when I’m happy or drunk or frustrated. I might do my drunk dance....going to pour a drink!

But I’ll glue first.

So sorry for your misfortune. I hope you are able to save it.

I don't know? There is PRECIOUS  little glue surface, it appears to be end grain to end grain, and it will be hard to clamp. Maybe use painters tape to hold it together while the glue sets. You don't mention the type of wood but I'd try Weldbond, just because it dries clear. Good luck.

I know you didn't mention that you have any but would a two-part epoxy work the best.?

 

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

My suggetion is to tape off the edges close to the break with painters tape so that when you apply glue it will not seep out to surrounding area and will affect the look of the wood. You will not be able to sand it all out. I would do this on all edges. I then would use carpenters yellow wood glue. I like Titebond 2  for this. I then would use rubber bands for a clamping method. Good luck.

Thanks for that @JTTHECLOCKMAN and @oldhudsontried glueing it but realized I need more hands then I have.

I do have two-part epoxy  

Do you guys think that would work better?

@oldhudson the wood is walnut and I think maple. Not to sure about the maple.

No in my opinion. Nothing stronger than fresh wood glue. Hide glue could be but messy. It is just 2 joints so I believe you do not need more open time or else I would suggest Titebond III. As I said the tape will help you not worry about getting glue where you do not want it.

Thanks @JTTHECLOCKMAN

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

One more suggestion if I were doing this i would do the glue up on top a piece of wax paper so the glue does not stick to it. i also would have the wide opening on the bottom. Easier to slip a rubber band or two around the smaller end. 

[Tomanydogs]

@JTTHECLOCKMAN Thanks. I will have to get some wider then I have rubber bands and I might have to wait till another set of hands comes by.

Howdy,

I tell ya the honest truth Ma'am, were it me, I'd go along with what JT and Mr. Wayne said. You've got a clean break on both sides from the looks of your picture, therefore, I wouldn't be afraid to tape on both sides of your break, inside and out, then glue it together. 

To insure you get a straight and level glue job, lay both pieces on a flat, level surface and then do your gluing, Ma'am. Were it me, I'd use Gorilla glue, the white wood glue. I have had excellent results with it. When you glue your two pieces together, I would let it set & dry a little while before I started in with tape, rubber bands, etc.

Just my .02 pennies worth, Ma'am.

@SCROLLSAW703 I appreciate your .02 pennies worth Brad thanks. I’m just hoping I can save the bowl. I’ve got about 5 days of sanding into it. 

Scrolling something else right now. Want to end my day on a positive.

I don't reckon there are to many of us ol' scrollers on here that have had this very same disaster, Ma'am. There ain't no shame in mistakes, Ma'am, it's what ya learn from it. 

When I was just gettin' the sawdust bug, I was still trucking over the road. So I was readin' every book I could find on anything to do with scrollin', wood, wood species, finishing, etc. I ran across an ol' cabinet builder once that I was watchin' cuttin; some drawer fronts.

When it came time to drill the holes for the screws for the handles, he overshot a couple & had to redrill the screw holes. While he was cheerfully fillin' the screw holes he had miscalculated, he said to me "the difference between a woodworker and a carpenter is how well they hide their mistakes, and how shiny they make them look in the end;) 

I've never forgotten those words, Ma'am. I am a self taught woodworker, and Lord knows I have made my share of mistakes, but there is always a way to fix that mistake, sometimes it just takes makin' the ol' thinker box work a little harder, Ma'am.;)

[OCtoolguy]

Well, there ya have it. The experts have spoken. Disregard my comment on epoxy. I was just a suggestion. I have no experience.

 

[Tomanydogs]

@SCROLLSAW703 Thanks Brad. I will carry that quote from the wise cabinet builder with me too, he’s right. 

I’m also a trucker from shaway  back. (Before I was bare foot and pregnant). 

@octoolguy Hey Ray suggestions are good. Thanks. 

[SCROLLSAW703]

Howdy, 

My  tallest respect goes out to you, Ma'am! Us ol' truckers are nearly gone! I drove OTR 30 years, my Father had over 50 years in the pilot seat!

I seen a note on fb this morning that said "ol' truckers don't turn grey, they turn chrome!";) How 'bout it, Ma'am?

 I'll admit, I had my share of shiny metal on my trucks, and lights, too, but, damn if they weren't the toughest part of the ride to keep clean!;)

Enjoy your day, darlin'!;)

I understand Irene I just finished gluing a Christmas wall hanging this afternoon that I made for my wife few years ago. Her favorite. Well I went to hang it and she said not there it won't stay had to try anyway and yup it fell right to the floor did not break so being a man and not going to be told it won't work I put it back and broke in 3 places. At least you had a accident not intentional drop I am sure. I was just too stubborn. Not my first or my last time. You have great advice and will do very well with the repair. 

[Tomanydogs]

@bandaideman Thanks. Hope you aren’t in too much trouble. 

[bandaideman]

Thanks Irene not bad trouble got it glued and on the wall wouldn't know it unless looking real closely

I will add my 2 cents worth if it is okay. When you first put the glue on to the pieces get them to fit as tightly as possible to try to eliminate the broken line. When the glue has started to set and if you have some squeeze out take some fine grit sandpaper, 220 or 320, and lightly sand those joints and the sawdust will mix with the glue and fill in the gap if there is one. You can also wait until the glue joint is dry and put a very small amount of glue on the break line and using the grit above lightly sand into the glue and the sawdust will mix and fill any gaps or the line itself and most if the time will be hard to see.  I also drove trucks for 15 years and wish at times that I had started years before! Loved being on the road!
