Ruined a glue up a few days ago. I used TB III - weather was 95° with an ambient humidity of 15%. I believe (did not time it) that the glue and tacked and set beyond my ability to move the pieces in about 120 seconds. Was my fault - I simply forgot about the effect of weather on glue having been "spoiled" by a long and wet winter. Had the same issue today. Fortunately I was able to separate the parts because one was end grain.
After the 1st issue, I promptly ordered some DAP Weldwood but that only gives 5 minutes at 90° and is inconvenient to use. I have some 5 minute epoxy that I might try for little pieces.
So what do you fellow desert rats use? At what time of day? I would love to read any commentary from anyone on this subject.
Thanks, Curt
