I have a situation where I need to bond pre-formed radius stainless steel channels onto thin wood for small drawer sides. The channel fits snugly over the edge of the 1/4" thick wood parts but I need to be able to apply a bead of glue to the wood edge, place the channel onto the edge and then clamp the part in a form to insure that the channel conforms to the curvature of the wood. These parts only measure about 6" X 6".
I've solved everything but the glue. I need a quick set so that I don't have to leave each part in the clamp for hours. It needs to bond wood and metal. And whether one part or two part, it needs to exit through a single nozzle, i.e., a pre-mix situation that lends itself to making a couple dozen parts at a time.
I've looked at the Titebond HiPurformer hot melt system in a catalog but am not sure if it would bond metal as well as wood.
Most of the metal parts fit well but some need a little pressure. The clamp will handle that, but the glue needs to securely hold the tension of the stainless channel.
Any ideas?
