Hello,
I have a “laminating” question. I need to laminate two pieces of 1/4 inch exterior mahogany plywood together. One piece will be 24 inches by 48 inches, and on top of that, I want to laminate a slightly smaller piece, about 22 inches by 46 inches. The smaller piece will be centered on the larger piece. The question is, should I use glue, panel adhesive or even contact cement? I don’t want to nail or screw these pieces together. I also don’t want to have to clamp them together during the process, since the clamps would have to extend so far into the middle in order to achieve a tight connection. I would prefer to just put heavy weights on the apparatus until it dries. When this is finished, it will be used in a garage, so there will be humidity and weather fluctuations. So, what does anyone recommend: glue, panel adhesive or contact cement, or something else?
Thanks,
Louis
