Same Application, Different Results?
Simple! Because wood material is an organic and living substance, water-based PVAc. Wood adhesives are chemical substances. Both are affected by environmental conditions and application deviations. For example, let's take solid wood. If your wood material has a moisture content different from the so-called "dry wood" ratio of 8-12%, even if you apply the adhesive in the same amount and press for the same duration, the bonding quality and time may vary. The higher the moisture content in a tree, the greater the chance that your adhesive will not bond with the wood fibers. That's why be mindful that your wood material does not have a high moisture content. The ideal moisture content for wood laminating is as we previously mentioned, between 8% and 12%. You can learn about your wood's moisture content from your supplier. Materials typically referred to as "dry-fired" are usually at the ideal moisture level. Keep this in mind. Besides, environmental temperature, relative humidity, and pressing pressure are also factors that affect bonding. Apply your adhesive to the wooden/wood surface evenly and in a thin layer. If possible, apply this layer to both surfaces to be bonded. Then, determine the pressing time according to the type of APEL adhesive you are using and allow it to cure under ideal conditions. You can find the necessary information about APEL wood adhesives' pressing times and application amounts on the packaging or in our technical data sheets.
