Tempo Scow repair Glue.

[ianmgds]

I have to do a repair on my ply tempo scow due to an unfortunate incident when putting her to bed at the end of last summer . I holed her and am looking to replace a panel of ply. Can someone tell me a good glue and where to get it to set the new panel in place. I am hoping to do the repair over the Easter weekend.

Thanks

Ian

I think epoxy would be most people's choice but the timber must be quite dry and in this cold it could be a problem getting it to cure. Heat from a lamp or something might help.
There are other glues that are happy with more moisture in the timber, in fact some actually need the moisture to start them working.

If not epoxy (and if too wet/cold for epoxy, then you have to wonder about delaying the job) then foaming polyurethane glue is good for jobs with a reasonable gluing surface. But, it expands, so you need more weight/screws/clamps. Likes moisture, though.

Robbins timber sells all the glues and I think will post them. Otherwise, the internet, or if you live close to a boat shop, they will sell it, possibly at a premium, but also in small amounts if needed.

Balcotan is your friend. I see they've changed the name
