   A Urea Resin glue like Unibond 800 should do the trick. I’ve also had some good luck with polyurethane glue on smaller bent lam glue ups

   Thanks. I understand the Unibond can be cleaned up with water while the glue is still wet. I was accustomed to waxing forms so parts would release easily if any squeeze adhered; will this work with the Unibond?

   Unibond does clean up with water, but that's really for tools and cups, not cleaning up a workpiece. I would not add water to a fresh glueup to clean off squeezeout. I use wax paper or packing tape on the forms. The glue dries hard and "jumps" when you scrape it.. easier to just peel the tape.

   Discontinued? I just bought some. Bought out the stock at my local hardware and I see that they've replaced it. I live in California and if you can't get it you can't get it here first! Resorcinal or unibond 800 for no creep glue. I hear that titebond 3 might work but I know what does work so I haven't tried it. The unibond and resorcinal work for things that might be exposed to the elements whereas the plastic resin does not. I've used west system epoxy but while I have no idea if the others will end up killing you I know that the epoxy will if you use it enough, so I'm pretty selective about when I use it. The weldwood gives really good results but keeping the temperature up and for the long duration can be a challenge sometimes. Also, go old school....hot hide glue. Hot , not the stuff in the bottle!

   I'm in Northern California, and haven't had any luck. I had a "chat" with a Weldwood rep, and she said they had indeed discontinued it, so I'm going to have to get used to something else. Ordered a couple gallons of Unibond from VacuPress.

   You can buy it from this company.

   Weld wood has discontinued it.

   Interesting the weldwood is advertised all over the internet for sale. If indeed it's off the market I should maybe go down to the hardware and buy them out, if it doesn't show up again then it is probably gone. Someone is advertising a 300 lb. Drum for $1205. That might keep you going for a while. They seem to take a lot of stuff off the consumer shelves but it's still available for commercial users. If that's the case then somehow you can still get it. If you can get drugs or bomb making materials unregistered firearms glue shouldn't be much of a problem.. My favorite is you ask for a gallon of something and they're no longer allowed to sell it to you that way but send you out with 4 quarts! Someone, somewhere doesn't read the label or doesn't believe in science and disregards it. You know that guy, "Honey put another tire on the fire. I'm cold!" Causes themselves harm and what with liability and insurance companies. It's just easier to take it off the shelf. It meets voc so that's not the reason. I'd bet that the consumer market for plastic resin glue isn't a very big share of Daps bottom line. It can be harmful if mishandled. One poisoning ..... they announced recently that they're taking roundup off the market....for consumers, they're still going to blanket bomb the Midwest with it!

   Have a look at this article in #258 from Craig Thibodeau on Polyurethane glue for bent laminations. I haven't tried it yet but I'm planning some bent table legs that I'll try it on.

   I have had very good success with polyurethane glue for bent laminations, but I have only done smaller stuff. Thin and rigid glue line, and scrapes and sands easily. As always, it helps to have a plan about dealing with the foam. I have not yet used it in my Roarocket vac bag, but they claim it will not adhere to the bag.
