I have a glue question for the woodworking experts.
I want to glue some loose knots in Douglas Fir boards. Interior walls, tongue and groove, that have been treated with hemp oil. I have been using super glue with success, as it provides a clear dried glue. Are there other glues I should consider? I need it to be odor free.
Also seeking supply suggestions for volume purchase of straight superglue if that is the best choice.
Thanks for your help

Do you have loose knots with open areas that need to be filled? Tight knots that you just want to seal? Spike knots? Combination?
I'm basically trying to understand what it is you need to do.
I wouldn't describe super glue as "odor free"... but you can get 16 ounces for $40 from Tech Marketing / Stick Fast.

Loose knots with minimal gaps, just ones that wiggle a little. A few are looser and or have a splitting core. I suppose the tight knots could use sealing to future proof them.Quote:

Sometimes 5 minute epoxy gives a slightly gummy cure, my 24 hour epoxy (system 3) cures to a nice hard solid that cuts and sands wonderfully. Maybe 30 minute cure or so would be a good compromise. There are also various casting resins available that yield quality surfaces.
