Best weather proof Glue?

[cfelton]

Yep, Gorilla glue is some tuff stuff! I'v used it alot on different things and been very happy with the results. I'll probley use it when replacing the transom and entire bottom on a Carolina boat this week.

whats the best way to store gorilla glue. last bottle i had cured in the bottle before i had a chance to use it. Is it something i should store in the fridge? to make it last longer between uses.

great question....hope somebody knows the answer...I always buy the smallest bottle I can find because I rarely get more than 2 uses out of it before it goes south on me.

not sure about gorilla glue, but i use alot of pvc glue and we store it upside down. no matter how tight you put the cap on, a little air circulates and the glue goes bad over time. turn the can over and the air is trapped in the bottom of the can and can't circulate. i've had a can in the shed at home for about 2 years.

might work?

pancake, is the pine pressure treated? i know epoxy dosen't get along with PT

[pancake]

yes it was pressure treated pine. i thought that would be the best/cheapest to use for some replacement parts that were originally teak or some other type of wood on my boats.

that pt probably wont work unless you can get it to really dry out. If you get some regular wood that is used in cabinet making and then coat it with a epoxy resin and then clear coat it. that would be the ticket.

Pressure treated wood got a bad reputation when people tried to used it in transoms and stringers. The tests show fairly good adhesion but like cterrebonne says it has to really be dry....and it doesn't come from the lumber yard dry. I'm still tempted to use it on boats and have read a lot of stuff on the web about making sure it's got no residue and is very dry first. Epoxy is a great glue, but can't penetrate the grain if it's already full of water.
