Buck I just looked at my can to post this on another thread. It says "keep in a cool dry place". It has a little table that says it will keep for 12 mo @60degrees, 6 mo @ 75 degrees, and 3 mo @90 degrees.

So, following that train of numbers, will it keep for 4 years at 35? :eek:

I used unibond today and measured it by weight... It said 10 parts resin to 1 part gardener. I remembered with urac measuring out 100 grains of resin to 13 grains of hardener. Well just measured as I did with urac and it worked awesome. You have to work a little quicker with it but it was totally cured in six hours... It's says it is done in three but I always double the time myself... Worked awesome!!!

I used it recently and it worked just like the urac I used before. Before I got a scale I measured the urac by volume. I think it has pretty wide tolerances as I never had a glue problem. Also the directions on the unibond give a wider range of mixtures and set up times. I got a lighter color of unibond than the urac and it looks pretty good with hickory and cherry. I used a combination of c-clamps and spring clamps to glue up a R/D blank. Good luck with yours. :)
