glue

Hi all, just having a rummage in the glue drawer and came across three unopened tubes of Anser Mobel Kleister PT44 glue. I have no idea where they came from nor how long I've had them...never heard of them or used them, so, just wondering if anyone knows if they are any good or should be...

Turning some acrylic this evening, near the end before sanding the acrylic decided to shatter ! Luckily safety glasses on as bits pinged into my face. Now I’m not sure if it was poor coverage of gorilla glue or what. Cleaned it all off and popped the tube in some wood instead with a Bostic...

A few glue ups untrimmed yet then ready to turn. All Slims to be,got a fright with one of them the brass was from a special pen kit that sported a longer base than any others designed by Dick Sing and marketed in the US so long ago and one brass protruding locked up in the glue up so It will be...

For someone who doesn't like working with gloves on, what do you recommend to remove CA glue from my hands? Some nights it's like I have rubber gloves on there is so much stuck on my fingers. Alan

How do you guys use gorilla glue it says on the label to wet one part of whatever you are gluing because it reacts with water. How do you use it to glue your tubes in. I have lost a couple of pen blanks because the CA is not filling the ends of the tube and there is a small gap between the blank...

Turned a few keyring pens this afternoon. A fun little project while waiting for my Gorilla glue to cure :smile-new:

Hi guys, anyone have a recommendation/supplier for CA glue, Also the Ca used to hold in the pen barrels is it the same that is used for finishing with? I also have a couple of wooden blanks to finish, is CA recommended or is there a different sealer / finished required Many thanks in advance...

Hi guys I've just started turning pens and am delighted with the few I've completed, all be they simple ones. I've gone and ruined a few blanks, both wood and acrylic, as a part of my learning process. All well and good. However, I can't for the life of me get the brass tubes to stick in...

Hi all I want to glue two bowl blanks together to make a deeper one. What’s the best glue to use? Thanks in anticipation of 10 different answers:chuckle::chuckle: Kevin :banana:

Nothing special but a popular pen for me to make with a handy little phillips and flat screwdriver plus the stylus to use with your tablet. Finished with CA glue.

I have been looking around for a supplier of veneers, have seen iron on veneers etc but i am looking fot veneer strips or sheets without " glue" just wood where do you guys get your veneers, mainly looking for light wood as a contrast. Cheers Ray

My lathe, chuck, pen jaws, Jacobs chuck, mandrel starter set and micro mesh are in to the shop on Tuesday. (but can't collect till Saturday!!!!?) I already have my carbide tools, medium super glue and activator. Turners sanding pack and face shield and a few pen blanks ordered. Will I need...

I have read and reread the tutorials on making celtic knots and laminating scrolls into blanks, but in none of them does it recomend a particulre glue to use, wood on wood i assume a pva glue but what about wood to plastic and metals ( drink cans) for mine read beer cans LOL, just wondering what...

As a newcomer to pen turning I've been reading as much as I can on the subject and have just started to try making pens. As a reasonably experienced turner most things seems pretty straight forward, but I haven't found an answer to this yet; From what I've read Gorilla glue is widely...

Hi All, I have been through quite a list of posts about Celtic Knots. I have taken in the ideas I need to cut the knot. My problem now is 'what glue do I use'. If using a couple of layers of metal I would use CA but would this be suitable for metal to wood ?? Same with plastic, I would use CA...

Apologies if I am asking an old question. Does anyone have a preference when using CA to glue in the brass tubes. I tried using medium today as I could see more of a gap between the blank and the brass tube, but I found it lessoned the movement of the brass tube going in the pre drilled hole...

I've just about run out of CA glue for finishing pens so need to purchase some more! I have been using Chestnut & some I purchased from TM but am wondering if it's all pretty much the same or are some better quality than others? I don't want to start a debate on other finishes as I already use...

I have just started to make a salad bowl, its made up of three types of wood, Ash, Oak (i think) and a dark wood which i do not have any idea as to what it is. I have glues these together using a mix of Titebond wood glue and Gorilla glue. It has really gone off well. I have noticed that the two...

I have been given a bowl by a friend who's uncle had started turning it and then sadly passed away so Ive been asked if I can finish it. Problem is Im not sure how best to remount it on the lathe? The bowl is mahogany (heavy) and is approx 12" diameter. There has been a shallow recess cut in...
