Wood glue and epoxy
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 3:24 pmIf you cover a sheet of ply in epoxy, am I right in thinking a normal wood glue like titebond would no longer work very well on the epoxied surface?

The best way to bond an epoxied surface is with more epoxy, thickened with an adhesive filler. Although I have also used PL Premium, which is intended to also be used on non-porous surfaces, and it seems to work.
