Do some woods not take to hot-melt glue very well?
I was trying to stick a chucking block on the bottom of a shallow olive dish and twice it flew off as soon as I took a cut so I gave up and cut a recess instead. The glue was still stuck firmly to the chucking block but had come away completely from the olive leaving just a faint mark where it had been.
I had finished the bottom to 600 grit but not applied any sealer or finish and have done the same thing with other woods such as yew, beech, elm which remained firmly stuck.
I'm wondering if it's the oil in the wood that causes this and is there a better way to hold such woods other than by a recess or spigot?
