Hello Everyone

I am currently building 3 cutting boards and I am not sure if I should use a special type of Glue because of the food being in contact with the board.
The Timber I am using is Forest Red gum and spotted gum.

I have done a search and went through about 20 pages of 500 and decided it would be quicker if I was to ask someone on this Forum.

I would like to use the triton glue cause that is what I have and it does say that it is non toxic.

Regards
Graeme

I use Titebond Polyurethane because :-

1. It is waterproof.
2. It has about 15 - 20 min working time.
3. It is non toxic.
4. You can take it out of the clamps and start finishing in 1 hour.

Thanks termite I will take your advice. I don't think the Triton glue is that good when it comes to waterproofing.
