| |  Dishwasher proof glue for cutting board
I was going to make up some cutting boards for the kitchen. margo likes to throw them in the dishwasher to give them a "Good Clean"
Has anyone found a glue that copes with this ?
I have Aquadhere  |

Don't put wood cutting boards in the dishwasher, it's bad for them. Just wipe them over with warm water and damp cloth. It has been well established that the tannin in them acts as a natutral biocide, and they are much more sanitary than plastic ones for that reason.
Just my 2c worth.

Tell her it is a crazy idea. 
No glue can survive that kind of treatment. Let us know if you manage to find one. |

I've got one made from blackwood strips glued together. I purchased it 30 years ago. It was an offcut from some guys in dandenong that made kitchen bench tops. I put it on top shelf of dishwasher all the time and its never come apart in all that time. Still as good as the day I got it. Wish I knew what glue they used then. |

The issue will not just be the glue but also what the dishwasher will do to the timber. |

I have pine ones that go ok ( they started out as 19mm dressed pine ) but the have a slight curve in them
They are thick enough to hit with the sander to level them off
They have lasted for years now with no problems
I was just looking at laminating some timber ( probably pine or cyprus ) so they would not warp.
Sounds like I need to do some testing myself |

Epoxy will be your best bet. West epoxy is good to around 90 degrees, or JB Weld if your dishwasher goes to 260....

Yep one of the marine or industrial epoxies will do the job.
the retail epoxies will not...Araldate is only good for about 60c
Resorcinol will probaly survive, but that is a bit hard to get onto in small quantities.
cheers

So tell her that the 'gunk' in the wood can bugger up the dishwasher pump, and create large repair bills.

Gorilla Glue will do the trick. It is 100% waterproof and heat tested to some ridiculously high range. Just make sure you clamp it properly and wipe up any exccess.
I found Gorilla Glue in the USA a few years back and now it is available here in Australia. I have been using it for nearly everything. |

To me the timber is the problem. You put the wood tissue in and out of water longer and more often. The wood is more likely to split.
Give it a go and let us know how it goes after a while. |

I always put mine through the dishwasher. I have an old bottle of olive oil which I use to rehydrate them afterwards. The wood sometimes splits but the glue does not let go. i don't know what teh glue is either.
I ahve some aquadhere exterior. I'll give it a go when I get time and report back. Will take a few weeks though, I won't be able to make the joint till this weekend then I'll have to wash it several times. I suppose to be thorough I'll have to do pine and hardwood ?
I regard chopping boards as consumables.
