Bubinga and glue - RonB1957 - 12-10-2023
Has anyone glued up Bubinga and what glue did you use. I am using a 2 part epoxy at the moment, but am wondering if the usual Titebond or Gorilla wood glue would not work equally as well. I do not need a joint coming apart.
What say you, old wise ones of the wood world?

I have used bubinga quite a bit. I have used both TiteBond and TiteBond III with no problems at all. It's hard and dense but not especially oily or anything that would make gluing difficult.

Thank you. As dense as the wood is, I thought I had better ask.

My thoughts would be to rub it down with lacquer thinner, just to be sure.
I have always used Original Titebond

I've used TB II to glue Bubinga to maple after a wipe with acetone.

Works for me. Speaking of acetone, I'm out. Need to pick more up.

Take some smelling salts with you when you go.

Gotta do that with lacquer thinner also

I've had equal success and no issues using Titebond, plastic resin glue, and liquid hide glue. Never needed acetone wipe-down (ask me about redheart though....)
