How to Glue Wood with Two-Part Epoxy？


Advantages of two-part epoxy

Two-part epoxy resins are known for their high-performance strength and durability. The excellent bonding properties of epoxy resin and the combination of curing agents make it widely used in the wood processing industry, mainly as a sealant or filler, its waterproof seal makes it easy to clean. After the glue is fully cured, it can be polished or drilled, which is ideal for wooden tables or furniture.

Application tips of epoxy on wood

First, clean and dry the surface to be bonded. For wooden boards, it is usually necessary to use sandblasting, electric grinding wheels, wire brushes, or coarse sandpaper to polish, and then clean with detergents to avoid oil stains and other stains on the wood surface and improve adhesion.

Secondly, it is necessary to match the two-component epoxy resin. In order to make the mixing of AB epoxy resin more uniform and improve the mixing efficiency, the glue gun is usually used with the cartridge and the static mixing nozzle. First load the A-component epoxy into one of the cartridges and the B-component curing agent into the other cartridge, then install it on the glue gun, connecting the static mixer. This method avoids the possibility that the glue will quickly dry and solidify if it is not used in time after manually mixing the glue, and also avoids the possibility of reducing the strength of the glue caused by air bubbles caused by manual stirring.



Finally, the mixed two-component epoxy resin is painted on the wood surface. Quickly wipe off excess epoxy with a clean cloth, cured epoxy can be carefully scraped with a knife. It should be noted that when the wood is bonded by epoxy resin, it must wait 24 hours.

After the two-part epoxy resin is completely solidified, the wood not only sticks firmly, but also can have moisture-proof, waterproof, oil prevention, dust prevention, and high-temperature resistance effect.

Can't find a suitable replacement static mixer, let us help you!

At present, due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, there is a shortage of static mixers in the U.S. market, and the local supply chain is facing a policy crisis, which makes the seller's market unable to meet the buyer's market.

What is the curing process of epoxy AB glue?

Epoxy AB glue consists of two parts: epoxy resin and curing agent. After these two parts are mixed, they change from liquid to solid after a certain period. This stage is called curing. The curing time also varies according to the ratio. Some can be cured in a few minutes, and some can be cured in a few hours. However, it usually takes 24 hours to fully cure. The stages of the curing process The curing process is divided into three stages: Liquid-Gel-Solid Liquid phase The handling time is a part of the curing time. When the two components of the AB glue are mixed and the epoxy chemical reaction begins, the mixture is still in a liquid state and can be glued and potted. Gel stage When the epoxy mixture begins to gel or heat, it enters the initial curing stage, at which time the AB glue gradually changes from a sticky gel state to a hard rubber state. Solid stage When the epoxy resin and hardener are fully reacted, the mixture cures to a solid state and continues to cure for the next 24...
