Good evening,
My son has "commissioned me" to build a couple of pizza peels for his restaurant. I plan on using 1/4 sawn hard maple for dimensions of approximately 16" sq by 1/2" thick, tapering down to very thin on the business end. I want to glue up 4" wide boards to get my 16" width.
I usually use Titebond III. Will this hold up to the heat of a pizza oven and typical abuse?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
Brian-
I can't answer from direct experience but I remember Wood magazine made a project of a peel and I think :confused: they used regular wood glue-
I wouldn't think that the exposure to the heat would be too long???
Let us know how you come out with it... Good luck
Mark,
Thanks, I'll dig thru my old WOOD magazines.

Not sure on the specifics, but I believe the testing for titebond III (type I testing?) included baking joints in an oven, as well as boiling them and rapidly cooling them, so I would imagine it's okay. You can find the specific test if you do a search, I can't think of where I read it off the top of my head.
A Pizza Peel isn't used to cook on, just for moving things to/from the oven, and as a cutting board. Titebond will work just fine.
Thanks, that's pretty much what I gathered from my searching. Real world answers are always best. I'm sure my son will let me know if the glue ever fails.
