In a similar vein on gluing "stuff"......any "stuff"
Now that I do not cast and reload due to shortages, I am back full-time at my ORIGINAL life-long hobby of restoring antique clocks.
Recently I have been "attacked" by several very old and extremely nice/valuable antique clocks where some lamebrain dufuss used Gorilla glue in and on all the joints that had loosened up with age. The garbage swelled up and ran out of the non-clamped joints and now it is my job to soften up the garbage (acetone!), scrape all joints clean and re-glue with the appropriate wood glue, CLAMPING ever single joint. WARNING: If you do not clamp your wood joints, don't even bother with good quality glue! Just use pan-head Phillips screws and Gorilla glue (none of which existed 200+ years age!) to hold a 200 year piece together! Some do! I cannot believe that if some nitwit thinks, that just because they can fix a lawnmower engine or over haul a truck motor they can fix and repair valuable delicate antiques. Really gets my dander up.
These same comments apply to anyone restoring antique firearms, storage boxes, and antique furniture. Or building ANYTHING out of wood!
Sorry for the rant, but I just finished 4 hours of cleaning and scraping ALL the joints in a 250 year old banjo clock that was attacked by some numb-nut using Gorilla glue. And NO clamps! And Phillips-head screws! Use it for gluing your house number on bricks and leave the REAL quality work to Titebond II or similar glues.
I am a professional woodworker, re-finisher and antique restorer and have seen just about everything!
