Title: EA-40 and superglue
Post by: oldfartfarmer on September 23, 2019, 06:00:16 PM

Im using the EVIL-Black Palm on my Riser,
on one part of it Im wanting to use the END-grain im thinking of soaking the lam side in superglue then sanding it for the EA-40 glue-up
asking if the EA-40 will adhere to the superglued Palm ?

Thanks
John

I have used superglue on EA-40 but not the other way around.

Have you thought about resin stabilizing the Black Palm (might tame some of the evilness).

I hear they have a smokin chemical reaction if they are put together while wet. 

Be careful of the end grain if you turn it in the riser where you need strength. Not sure I said that correctly but you know what I mean...

You will be ok if you sand it. You want the end grain front to belly. Flat grain on the sides.
