When applying wood glue for a strong bond, the key is to use the correct amount without excess.
Recommended Glue Thickness
Based on the provided reference, a good guideline for the amount of wood glue to use is about the thickness of a piece of construction paper. Using too much glue is not recommended.
Application Tips
Applying the glue evenly at the recommended thickness helps ensure proper coverage and bonding.
- Aim for a layer roughly the thickness of construction paper.
- Using a tight brush can assist in applying the right amount of glue.
- When using the correct amount and technique, the glue may appear as "little pearls" when squeezed together, indicating good coverage without excessive squeeze-out.
Following this guideline helps achieve a reliable bond for your woodworking projects.
