In response to your questions concerning the slow setting plastic resin glue, there are several types that I would recommend. Specifically, I am referring to urea formaldehyde glue such as Weldwood or Cascamite. Weldwood is manufactured by the DAP company, which can be reached at (888) DAP-TIPS. You should be able to find this glue available at most hardware stores. I have also had excellent results with Urac 185, which is manufactured by the American Cyanamid Company in Wayne, NJ. It is available in retail quantities from Highland Hardware. Their phone number is (800) 241-6748. Urac 185 can also be obtained through the Nelson Paint Company, whose mailing address is One Nelson Dr., P.O. Box 2040 Kingsford, Mich. 49802. Their telephone number is (800) 236-9278. Other urea formaldehyde glues on the market are Unibond and Resorcinol.

Resorcinol glue is generally used on boats because it’s completely water proof when cured. It does however leave a dark glue line which would be objectionable on light colored woods. Resorcinol can be found at your local hardware store.
