Has anyone used this to glue redwood? It would be for a indoor application.

I've used it on redwood for an indoor application and it worked fine. However, that was about 40 years ago. Today, I would use a "white" wood glue. No mixing and shorter cure times.

I have used it on every wood. The problem with redwood is the high moisture content. If you can effectively dry (slowly) so as not to warp or distort the wood, the glue uses water to activate it, so some drying will occur curing the Weldwood glue. Redwood is soft so the cured joint will be much stronger than the wood. If you try to break the joined wood, the break would be in the wood away from the weld. Curing is necessary at high room temperature for 24 hours using compression wood clamps. Keep the unused glue during cure to assure it's fully hardened before Dr releasing clamps. Can be sanded, shaped and stained like wood. Good luck. I have used it on every wood. The problem with redwood is the high moisture content.

I bet it would work- however would it ruin the wood? Test in a spot that cant be seen. If it sticks and in a week peels off without harm- then go for it!

I'm not sure why I was referred to this question as I do not use Gorilla glue, for outdoors/wet environments/non porous applications I recommend a two part epoxy adhesive and for porous/indoor (wood furniture, etc) yellow carpenters glue.

Does the bottle say that this glue works well on metal? I doubt it. Call the company on Monday morning for an answer to that one. Off hand I don't know of any glue that works well on both wood and metal. I think you will need screws.

Hi. I haven't used it for that myself, but it does stand up well to other glues and adhesives.

That will depend quite a bit on the environment it's going to be in.... furniture, interior use... probably so. We made large laminated canoe paddles covered in polyurethane, and in 8 years of immersion and hard, competitive use... no glue failures at all. In fact, the wood broke cleanly in a non glue area once... that's all!

In my opinion yes.I would use small amounts in small area of the wood, it should only remove the adhesive without any damage to wood. Use with lightly when removing.

I do not think so, although we have never used the hot glue for that purpose. With my experience I would say no. I think you would need a specific bonding agent that clearly states it can used for wood and cement. We do use an "epoxy" that bonds extremely well and states it will bond wood, concrete, and other hard to bond materials. It is a 2 part mixture that bonds wood extremely well once mixed according to directions.

Yes, I recommend that you use the widest fan spray setting to start & adjust from there. I've used it on redwood fence boards & it does a great job. I'd guess your deck wood is harder than the redwood. I suggest minimizing the narrow stream nozzle setting from up close as it may damage the wood. You'll have to do some trial & error to figureout ehat works & what doesn't.

This is perfect for balsa wood, or any other wood you may happen to work with. A common PVA(craft) glue should be fine too, but this glue is stronger than most normal PVA glues.

We didn't use glue, and the chairs have held up fine. However, if you feel more comfortable with additional reinforcement, it can't hurt to use a little wood glue.

The BoWrench works fine with 2x6 lumber. It's designed to be used with either. Straightening and fastening 2x6 redwood is a one man operation once you practice with it a bit.

It is not a glue -- and glue/adhesive does not stick it very well -- you might take a look at an epoxy, Bob Smith brand is very good.

It might work...it is pretty darn tough..cheap enough to try and see if it works. I used it to attach a knife bar to the tile in my kitchen. I don't know about moisture but the glue is pretty strong...see if it works!

I have used this kit with pine and had no issues. But using glue and not over tightening the screws can ensure you don't crack the soft pine and still have a strong joint.

I don't know, it works great indoors, on wood or any surface that it will stick to.

I use the short glue sticks recommended on Amazon and they are perfect. Love mine and use it inside and outdoors.
