Hi All
This is my first post to the forums
Having finally had a new "off the shelf" 16 x 10 workshop delivered and assembled at the end of my garden, I have made a couple of forays into the wonderful world of woodworking.
My initial builds have been a workbench/outfeed table on castors, and a light duty bench made from ply. I am quite pleased that said ply is now on its 3rd use under my supervision: having initially been part of the interior wall lining of a shed that came with the house when purchased in 1992, the sheets were then salvaged when the shed was demolished to make way for a replacement "potting" shed and were used as wall linings again, and now some of the sheets have been sawn up and put to use as parts of a bench following the demise of the potting shed.
Now my query. I have used 502 wood glue purchased from Toolstation for the assemblies on the benches. I have found the glue very thick, to the extent that there is no realistic way that you can use the squeezy nozzle on the bottle, as it gums up. Even taking the cap off and pouring means waiting quite a while for the glue to make its way out of the bottle! Is this a typical experience for this brand of glue? Can it be thinned to make it a trifle more fluid? Is that even desirable?
Thanks for any opinion
