Mid-life madness Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No, I haven't. I used regular wood glue....Instant scares me, as am terrible with keeping things level. Edit: I just bought some off eBay....how do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen in the back ground of a few blogger's posts, and wondered about it....It says it is great for miniaturists. I am going over to Amazon to see if there are any reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamcheese Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I found that a great multi-purpose adhesive is the 527 adhesive by Beacon. I used it to glue on all of my clapboard siding and the wood shingles. It's easy to use and basically can be used to glue everything! You can get it at any craft store but online is the best, especially if you have a coupon and then can purchase a larger quantity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beacon website says this about 527: Materials It Bonds: Ceramics, China , Metal, Shells, Tile Doesn't say anything about wood. And according to osha.gov, the toluene used for cleanup/thinning is dangerous if it gets on skin or if the fumes are inhaled. Makes me wonder of the glue itself emits fumes. The website says: Symptoms of toluene exposure include: irritation of the eyes and nose; weakness, exhaustion, confusion, euphoria, dizziness, headache; dilated pupils, lacrimation (discharge of tears); anxiety, muscle fatigue, insomnia; numbness or tingling of the skin; dermatitis. Toluene exposure may cause liver and kidney damage. Toluene affects the central nervous system, eyes, skin, respiratory system, liver, kidneys. Breathing high levels of toluene during pregnancy has been shown to result in children with birth defects and to retard mental abilities and growth. There is evidence that exposure to toluene at work is associated with spontaneous abortion. High concentrations of toluene, usually from use in a confined space or unventilated area, can cause loss of consciousness, respiratory depression and death. Long term and repeated workplace exposure to toluene affect the central nervous system. I think I'll keep to Aileen's and Titebond. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 @KathieB does the Grrrip Glue have toluene in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if it is necessary to keep toluene on hand to remove glue that gets where it shouldn't be or to take apart bits glued wrong, then I'm unlikely to try it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
