EDGE GLUING

HOW TO DO EDGE GLUING

1. Apply glue to one or both edges depending on the condition of the wood. 

2. Apply ample side pressure using bar clamps or other means.

3. Always place the electrode feet across the glue line on all joints (where the glue line is exposed).

4. Press trigger switch and move tuning lever to maximum heat.

5. Allow glue to stop boiling. Three to five seconds will usually suffice on woods like soft pine. Five to seven seconds of the heavier, denser woods. Never more than 10 seconds.

6. Weld about every eight inches apart and near each end.

7. Release side pressure. Board is ready for use and may be worked right away.
