Test the Strength of Wood Glue

Glue the wood and application method to be the most important part in the process of the wood work, especially wood for furniture.
As a technical major choices and methods of connection, play a very large wood glue in terms of determining the strength of wood construction. This article will only discuss the type of wood glue PVAc (Polyvinyl Acetate) or better known as white glue, because it was white.
To see how strong the glue that you use on wood furniture, let us see some practical methods.

1. Cross Grain - The illustration below is gluing 2 sticks of wood without any construction. Once the glue is completely dry, give the pressure on the shaft of the cross with the pressure gradually in several different thrust forces.
From each of these steps, observe the connection and the last condition moving timber when the connection is open because of pressure. By using the same type of glue from a different brand, you will find a particular brand has a different resistance.

2. Unidirectional Fiber - From a block of wood, cut with a cut angle of approximately 15-20 degrees. Then reconnect the two pieces of wood using white glue. Appropriate connections in the former sawmill.
Once the glue is completely dry, tie a piece of wood so do not moving and the pressure on the other hand gradually until the two are separate logs as slaughtering line (or sometimes wood fibers come open).

3. Soaking - This method is more suitable for testing the glue on outdoor furniture (garden furniture). Two sticks with the same size superimposed into a single (exact lamination process) and wait until completely dry.
Then the laminated wood is soaked in water to seep water would affect the connection. A good quality glue will usually last longer.

Of course there are some other methods are more accurate and the actual that you can use. In practical terms, of the three methods above will be immediately known type of glue which one is better and in accordance with needs.

To produce a fair and clear reset, there are some specific tips to consider:
1. Use the same type of wood hardness (density) that is not much different.
2. Normal wood glue should be allowed to dry 24 hours after grafting, but there are several brands and types of certain white glue that has a 'drying time' is different. We recommend that you follow the instructions carefully.
3. Size of timber for testing must also be equal in order to have a relatively equal pressure.
4. Perform application of glue application in the same way on all the wood tested.
5. Pressure point distance with the central point should be the same connection, so the moment is equally acceptable.
