I guess I'll go out on a limb and suggest something else here. I work in a wood crafts shop on nearby Luke Air Force Base. We make lots of flag boxes, shadow boxs, etc. One of the shadow boxes we make is shaped like a master-sergeants' rank insignia, which is curved on the bottom. I make this part by laminating 8 to 10 strips. Iv'e tried all the glues. Yellow glue-not enough open time, tightbond III is better but still have to rush, and it creeps. Plastic resin glue worked well but is very temprature sensitive, (I believe it needs to be above 70 degrees) and basically takes overnignt to set up. So I tried poly glue; Gorilla glue, Elmers Ultimate, etc. I didn't have much experience with it and heard lot of people don't like it (mostly because its messy). But it has worked great for me and I don't find it all that messy once you get the hang of it. It has plenty of open time, cures in 3 or 4 hours and makes the bent-lam plenty rigid, and no glue creep. I've never heard anyone metion using poly glue for bent-lam and am kind of curious why. I've made dozens of shadow boxes with poly glue-lam with never a failure in the lamination. I also use it for my end grain cutting boards, prolly at least 100 with never a failure. Not to steal the thread, but I'm very interested in hearing other opinions on this. Barry
