Adhesive Choice Dilemma!!
10/11/18
Have a project coming up to make 2 overhead garage doors. I made one in the past which faces northeast so it gets very little sun exposure. These 2 are directly facing west.
The first one I used Titebond 3. But on a few recent posts on Architectural Woodworking they had some failure with TB 3 when the temperature (surface?) Got too high.
I am looking for a suggested adhesive. The core of the door will be polystyrene inside a cedar frame with 1/4" exterior ply glued to it to make my substrate. Then a frame and panel on the exterior.
Thanks for your suggestions!!

Tom,
I'd suggest looking at a reactive polyurethane glue. It will give you a better exterior bond than the T3 and is relatively easy to use.

Jeff-
Any idea how the CP-0701 compares to the Titebond Polyurethane?

I'm not too familiar with Franklin's PUR. I believe it is considerably thicker than the one we sell. Any of the PURs will give you a highly water resistant bond.

Jeff,
What is the coverage per gallon? Also does it react it used on polystyrene?

You can figure on about 400 sq. ft of glue line per gallon.

How about the polystyrene reaction?

Hi Tom,
It won't affect the polystyrene.
