which filler for best adhesion
have a project where adhesion is critical. there are quite a few holes in one surface around 3mm diam. that need to be filled and wonder what is best to fill these with and maintain optimal adhesion. I generally use a section of dowel but consider end grain to be pretty poor glue face. 6mm plugs could be used but there is a still a percentage of end grain glue area plus of course cutting out bigger chunks of the native material. The glue is titebond original.
Would a dryish mix of sawdust and glue (titebond original) have better adhesion than a dowel plug?
thanks in advance for any commentsray c
dunno what's more fun, buyin' the tools or usin' em'

Can you get GorillaGrip where you are? (sold in goo gun cartridges here in NZ).
It's a polyurethane foaming glue that is very very tenacious. Just don't expect it
to be gap-filling in the same way Epoxy can be. But I think it's stick-ability is better.
Not to be confused with the red Gorilla Glue which is, in my experience, c.r.a.p.
