Making a wooden paste

Frédéric Géa


The wood glue can also be used as a binder with sawdust to make an excellent paste. On newsprint, deposit a quantity of adhesive and powder the sawdust (as fine as possible) while mixing. Adjust the amounts of each to get the consistency of paste required. It is advisable to prepare only the volume necessary for immediate use.

Gluing a composite of plywood/metal is completely possible for the easy machining of certain parts, or the addition of a particular reinforcement. An example is illustrated on the left: A "sandwich" alu/plywood/alu. In this case, the wooden paste was also used to level the composite and to avoid the effect of staircase.
