Tips For Use – Bonding Wood



Sticky Ass Glue and Sticky Jack Glue are incredible tools for bonding dozens of materials (also known as substrates) together. Since both SAG and SJG are known as Moisture Curing Adhesives, in the case of bonding materials, using a little bit of water will help in the curing (drying) process.

(Moderation is a virtue though, as too much moisture will dilute the strength of Sticky Ass Glue. Please don't go drenching the materials with a power washer!)

Bonding Wood to Wood:
Because wood is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. In fact, using water may actually cause the glue to expand a bit, particularly if you're gluing two small areas together. So unless, you're gluing two large pieces of wood together (ex: 4' x 8' planks), skip the water. On larger wood surface areas though, just run a damp cloth over the surface lightly to speed up the curing process.

Bonding Wood to Metal:
Because wood is a porous substrate, enough moisture exists in its makeup and the air around it to make the use of water unnecessary in most cases. However, since metal is a nonporous substrate, very little water exists in its makeup. In cases of bonding a large piece of wood to a large piece of metal, we recommend lightly misting the metal with just a bit of water. However, less is more when it comes to using water with our glue so don't soak either of the materials.

Realize You Have an Ally
Clamping is your friend! Clamping for an extended period of time (24 hours +) will always produce optimum results.
