Laminating ?
Ok you wood turners.. Before I start my next job I thought I would seek your input, yet again.
I have to build a billiard table. The 6 legs will be turned from 6inch sq silky-oak. And I am going to have to laminate 4 boards together to achieve the 6inchs.
My question is, what would you recommend to use for the adhesive? I have quite a bit of surface area to cover - so araldite is out of the question
And I have been thinking the 2-part PVA I use normally might not be quite suited to this application....
Your Thoughts People.....
Cheers....

AVSyntec AV101 PVA, AV260 cross linked PVA (2 pack) or AV270 cross linked PVA single pack.
Expensive but real good.
or A big bottle of Selleys
Just kidding Shane.

Thanks Neil
AV260 is what I use now, but I wasn't sure if it would be the best choice for laminating. So then I thought maybe AV203 but thats really for edge gluing..... Argh who knows, maybe the AV Syntec rep will be at the show......
Cheers!

Gooday.
We used to do a lot of laminating of legs and can endorse Neils opinions.
Have also used Aquadhere and Bondcrete.
A little tip:wipe the surfaces with GP thinners on a clean cloth just prior to gluing.

Have recently read about the fine attributes of PVC glue, yes PVC. It is claimed it is better than PVA but I have not had the opportunity to try it as yet.
Maybe Neil or someone else can help.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

,
I recently used Bondcrete for priming plaster. When I read the label it did say it was glue.
Is it really suitable for laminating or general glueing for that matter?
Thank you
Dod

If my memory serves me correctly, bondcrete was originally designed as a waterproofing, bonding material for use in brickies mortar.
I used to labour (very occasionally) for a brickie mate of mine years ago. I am sure it was a key ingredient for the mud in some of the lower courses of brickwork as a sort of dampcourse or something like that. I have also seen it used by solid plasterers for some plastering and rendered work.56 Rock n Roll rebel....... Too old to die young and too young to be an old fart.

Gooday all.
Doorstop and Neil are both correct.
It was made primarily for mixing with concrete to waterproof and bond concrete water tanks.
I have also seen it mixed with acrylic paint for bathrooms as well.
Though not absolutely waterproof as the ureas or 308 type glues it is more waterproof than normal PVA but I would not use it for holding a boat together.

Called into AV Syntec in Brisi and talk my rep. Recommended AV203. I use this regularly anyway, so just had to get some more. Thanks for your help guys!
Only just got home from Brisi now. 10hrs on the road and the first thing I do when I get home is check this board out.....Hmmmmmmm

Instead of haveing to laminate boards so that u can get the required size why not just get some 6inch squares it is a lot easier , when i do have to join pieces i mostly use aquadhere

Paul the only way I can get 6inch sq Silky-oak that is over 100yrs old, is by laminating. It may be easier to find this in the bigger cities where there is huge access to recyled timber yards.... But not in the country. Being Water based, aquadhere isn't the best option for this process, especially where I am, there would be far to much glue line creep...
For all those interested, jobs done. AV203 worked a treat, although sticky and messy
Cheers for the advice again!
