  • Today I might have made a daft mistake. I glued up some pieces of plywood in the garage and it's snowing here today. I then saw that the (Evostick green bottle) glue says 'usable between 5 and 30 degrees'.

    A bit of Googling suggests that the glue might not work and could 'chalk'. And indeed it has dried white instead of yellow.

    So I'm gonna leave it for a while and maybe chance it. It's a subassembly for a much bigger piece. Anyone had this happen and maybe died or contracted life-threatening brain parasites as a result?

  • I've been in that situation, with titebond II. Dried white instead of the usual yellow. The internet suggested the strength of the joints were compromised, so I broke one on purpose and it was indeed rather flimsy. If you need it to be strong then I'd consider redoing it :( Or reinforce with some screws.

    Aside, apparently letting your glue freeze is a big no no. Titebond say if it happens I think more than 6 times then you should chuck the bottle.

    I think I'm on about 3 now :/ I really should start storing it the house.

    Think I'll go do that now.
