James E. Welch Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 What glue do you guys use? I'm wondering specifically what glue you use on painted/stained backer boards. Wood glue wouldn't stick to paint well right? Does CA glue hold up well long term?? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) non painted wood for indoors: titebond 2 non painted wood outdoors: titebond3 painted/finished wood or smooth metal surfaces: baking soda and CA glue. I will try pencil lead powder and baking soda w/CA glueb if I want a dark looking joint. cement or porous surfaces: E6000 or E6800 2 Part epoxy is another glue I have at the ready.

kmmcrafts Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 I asked this a few years back and Weld Bond was what I was directed to at that time.. I used it a few times and so far seems to be doing the job fine. It was just light work to hold a painted backer to a cutting that hangs on the wall so there isn't much if any stress to the pieces I did with the Weld Bond.

Paladin Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 My vote is for Aileen's tacky glue as well. Any painted backers this is what I've used for years and never had any problems. James E. Welch and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McDonald Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 I just yesterday started a round of wood to wood and wood to metal projects with E6000. Seems to a great job, but is a lot like some of the tube style glues from the past--it can be runny. (I'm looking at you, ghost of DuPont Duro). James E.

ChelCass Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 I use E6000 all the time. A little goes a long way. I have glued wood to wood (painted), glass to glass, metal to wood and glass to wood with no problems. If I am doing a really small piece then I use a toothpick to apply the glue. Can be bought at walmart, and any craft store. James E. Welch and MarieC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
