Bit late now as I have stuck my frame together but I realised that the glue I was using (Titebond Original) was an old bottle that should have been disposed of some time ago. It is probably about 2+ years old.
Anyway the frame does seem to be Ok as far as I can tell so far! It got me thinking about how to test glue effectiveness (particularly of unknown date). Short of sticking 2 pieces together and testing how much effort required to separate I am lost for ideas - except of course buy fresh glue regularly. But then how do you know how long the supplier has had it in stock?
Do you know of any effective testing methods?
Cheers
Tony
