? about multiple M&T glue-ups
Furnished content. (from WoodNet.net)
Think ladderback chair with curved uprights,three curved back pieces, a 1X2 seat support, and a bottom rung. That's 10 M&T joints (20 glue applications)that need to be glued up at the same time. The dry fit went together (finally) but it took these old hands quite a while, and I'm concerned about getting it all together without glue drying up or getting it all over me and everything else - despite usingTitebond III with a decent set time. Given the configuration,I do not think just doing one side at a time is feasible unless the second side follows immediately.
I'm thinking about applying glue to the tenons first, especially the end grain that normally needs two coats anyway, then the mortices. This might mean that some ofthe tenons could bepartially dry before completing all the joints. Do you think this is will not compromise the strength of the joints? Any other ideas?
