Glueing Ipe
« on: January 23, 2011, 05:57:42 pm »
Tried to glue a riser to an Ipe slat today, the riser had a curve in it.  I bent the ipe over the riser clamped every inch, let the glue dry and unclamped.  The slat came right off the riser.  I was using titebond 2.  I cleaned the wood with acetone prior to glueing.  Any suggestions.

not take acetone, only soap and plenty of scrubbing with brush

Acetone takes a lot of oil and resin to the surface

Epoxy for bonding to take

I've glued risers on with tight bond i clean it with denatured alcahol you must have a good wood to wood fit and let it cure for at least 24 houres.

Ipe is tough, bending it around the riser might be difficult. I usually back with bamboo glue the backing and Ipe into a R/D then shape the riser to the handle area.

If your joint is so loose that you to work to get it to mate up you are courting disaster.
