Hi I biscuit jointed and glued up some oak plank recently, clamped it overnight. 24hrs later I dropped it and 1 of the joins came apart. I used standard wood glue. Should I be using a different glue??
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks ColinMy first thought would have been the glue has not set as the temperature has been low over night. As only one of the joints came apart then the glue itself should be fine and you can probably discount a low temperature.
That being the case it is probably down to a fault with the one joint. Was it a smooth close fit or gappy, meaning the glue would still be wet as it had insufficient time to go off. Was it so tight that the glue had been pushed out?
