After watching this video, I will definitely be using epoxy instead of screws! Thanks...!
Probably doesn't matter in the practical sense, but I wonder what makes for a stronger join, a fresh cut dado, or one cut days/weeks before glue up? Also what difference the type of wood would make, plywood vs solid pine vs MDF?
Show! Like!!!!! Thanks for sharing! (Brazil)
Thank you for the video I was looking for one on this subject and it answered my questions about the strength test I'll get some of this gorilla glue and do just like this for my shorter pieces of T Track again thanks keep the videos coming
I use Rue Glue for this, plus screws. I believe it has some kind of etching agent in it for adhesion to non-porous surfaces such as aluminum and melamine. A one-step process - no mixing. In my experience so far it is plenty strong.
Confused why using screws would be a bad fastener. Why the need for epoxy?
Did you abrade the underside and/or sides of the anodized aluminum track prior to epoxy bonding, or did you just clean any oil/dirt off before bonding?
Excellent! Thanks - just building a sled
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the video and demo!
I had a dilemma about whether 2 glue or screw my T-tracks. If I glued it, I couldn't reuse them 4 a bigger & better project. Since the intersections r the most expensive and definitely a reusable part of the project, I decided 2 screw the intersections, and glue the rest. Thx 4 ur vids, Dan. Always enjoy them and ur humor.
U answered my CZcams ? Perfectly. Including what brand 2 get. Thx
Thanks, I'm just about to install a bunch of T track and was wondering the same thing. I picked up the Lee Valley track, which has no pre-drilled holes. So I think I'm just going to glue them in and not make any holes at all in them and after seeing this I feel confident it won't be an issue. Thanks!
"calling" for the socket actually worked! I'm impressed Dan :)
Do you have any advise on what size counter sink bit to use when additional holes are drilled? I tried asking the question to Amazon and get no solid response. Powertec, the track I bought, also offers no help - astonishing they sell product but have no support for it. I should have found this video months ago and used epoxy instead of installing with screws.
Wow! I didn't know it will hold better than screws.
Cool.
Thanks, this will save me grinding off of screw tips poking through in the future 😀.
I just use strips of painters tape to mix my epoxy. Let it dry and toss it. Will use epoxy on my future t-track projects. Thanks, Dan.
epoxy? yeah, based on what i know about glues, i'd say that's the best option for this application.
This is good to know. Newbie woodworker here as well. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share your experiences with us.
