Last night at 6 PM, I finished gluing up a plywood box for the van. Elmer's Waterproof--bottle only a few months old stored in the house.
One side of the box has a kerf bend, so there's bit of stress on that joint. Otherwise, there should be no stress--this is a completely forever stationary battery box.
I left the box outside in clamps overnight in part because it was so heavy and bulky with all those clamps. This morning at 8 am, the squeeze out has the consistency of bubble gum--about what I would expect after an hour or so under normal conditions. However, these were not normal conditions. Temperature 80-90+°, humidity 75-85%.
I carefully removed the clamps and brought it inside. What is the risk of failure?
(This is a wake-up call that I won't be doing any painting out there.)
