Best glue/adhesive for MDF?
As topic says, what's the best adhesive for MDF?
Been reading for hours now.. People recommend so many different glues.. gorilla glue ( polyurethane ), liquid nails, Titebond II and III, and epoxy.
When I say best, I want the adhesive that would make the strongest join.
Another factor is drying, I don't want to start gluing on one side and then when I'm ready to mount it's already hardened where I started..
I have used epoxy before with MDF. It appears to be really strong. They use it to make airplanes.. so it should be the best. The downside is that it's really expensive!
The other adhesive I could use is Titebond II. Got no experience with this glue, but it is alot cheaper.
Perhaps Titebond will give a little weaker glue han epoxy. But is it worth it when comparing it with cost?
Finewoodworking has an article about this. They tested many different glues.
I didn't read it, but saw some results posted on another page. Was Titebond the strongest, closely followed by 2part epoxy? They glued on different types of wood. But not MDF, so I'm really unsure about what to think about it..
Unless someone says Titebond is better, I'm gonna go with 2part epoxy.
For those wondering, I am going to glue MDF plates ontop of each other., and also gluing a Sonotube(this is almost the same as MDF, its made of paperfibres) to MDF plates. It's for a sonosub, those interested can have a look here: http://home.lyse.net/dreier/atle/ht/ss12.jpg
Verry critical that it's airtight in the glues!
Can I have any input on which adhesive to use?
