when you broke wood as example you did it with grain try that against grain
Can you use wood glue on treated lumber?
None of those glues are stain-able F.Y.I. Good to know that before you ruin a project.
Find me a glue that will let the stain do its job with no glue shows.
The company that comes up with a glue that will let the stain do it's job will be richer.
Just received a CA blue kit from Amazon. Came with 3 plastic bottles of 1 to 3 oz of glue. Light , medium and thick viscosities. Also a spray bottle of activator. Repaired some rot in mullions in a screened porch.
Dug out the rot, patched in a 2x2 block to replace the rotted section. Used titebond yellow glue, the CA glue kit had not arrived until the base repair had arrived. Testing the CA glue by glueing two pieces of shim wedges together. Very carefully applied a line of CA to one side of a wedge and sprayed the accelerator to the other wedge. The fun began.........squeezing the two wedge pieces together to create a 1/4 x 3 1/4 filler to add to the base 2x2 in mullion I was repairing. The glue sets instantly...and I mean instantly. Like 1 second. There was no moving one of the two pieces of wedge shim to achieve the desired thickness to fill the gap on the vertical mullion. Amazing product. I had two fingers stuck together and blotches of CA glue here and there on my fingers on both hands. The fingers were stuck firmly together but with lightening action I was able to pry the finger apart with quite a bit of pain. Glue was on the various fingers in about 5 spots. Each about the size of a dime, in spite of trying to work carefully. Two hours later I had scraped the glue spots off almost entirely. The purpose of this description of how not to glue a simple sample together. WEAR GLOVES. WEAR GLOVES WEAR GLOVES.......!!!!!! When working with this material. Do not depend on the spray activator staying exactly on the line of glue, or the glue staying inside the bottle. You will get one, repeat....ONE effort at glueing anything together. There will be no,, repeat. NO time to slide and align the two pieces around once they touch each other. Did I mention... wear gloves ??? Hopefully you will go back and read this warning again before you head to the Emergency room with several fingers glued and everyone laughing at you. Practice the desired procedure before committing to actually trying to glue two objects together without becoming a part of your project. GOOD LUCK
