    Default Glue

    Can anybody tell me any brands of PVA glues that are both waterproof and EXTREMELY strong. The strongest there is. Must be an Australian brand. I would like to try some for 2 reasons. 1) Cost of epoxy glue and 2) performance.

    Thanks

    Strength wise, you'll find that just about every not-made-in-china PVA glue will pass the strength test of the timber failing before the glue line - certainly any of the external grade ones will. Past that point, strength really isn't an issue.

    The only drawback with PVA is that it can exhibit creep under loading, so it's not a first choice for curved laminations (so use Australian epoxy for that).
