Got an ad in the e-mails from Rockler. One item they are pushing is a 7-second glue. Here's their description:
Adhesive and filler compound bonds virtually anything to anything, including rubber, glass, copper, aluminum, steel and most plastics. Combine the welding compound with adhesive to repair all types of holes, cracks and gaps. It cures in 7 seconds, can be drilled, sanded, tapped and even conducts electricity. Pack includes sandpaper, razor blade, masking tape, glove, paddle, pin and precision applicator tube.
Note: Not engineered to work on polyethylene, polypropylene plastics, Teflon, or fiber-based materials like paper and cloth.
My first thought is wow, Rockler (a woodworking supply co.) is selling a fast setting wood glue. How useful!
Then I read the fine print.
"Bonds virtually anything to anything, including rubber, glass, (long list of metals) and most plastics."
hmm, anything and everything but wood.
and then the kicker, "Note: Not engineered to work on polyethylene, polypropylene plastics, Teflon, or fiber-based materials like paper and cloth." Hmmm, wood is fiber based...
So without ever mentioning it by name, they're telling me it won't work with wood. I had a good laugh about that, A woodworking supply co. selling an all-purpose glue whose purpose cannot involve wood of any kind.
