re: Glue

I find PVA is good for most general gluing jobs, but I have to say I do like Everbuild Resintite (very similar to Titebond 2 I believe). For jobs where water ingress or humid atmospheres are concerned I do use Forbo “Balcotan” 60 100 as it is reccomended by boatbuilders here in the UK. It is a one part polyurethane adhesive. I used this for bonding the four large blocks of Lime (Tilia Species) that I used for carving the Chinthe for the Chindits Old Comrades Association and the glue lines did not show in the finished bronze casting taken from it.
