how thick do you guys sand these down too?

i made a set the other day using titebond two and sanded them down to .070. long stroy short they came apart in the glue line. so i was thinking either i had them too thick or the titebond two wasnt strong enough. what do you guys think?

You have to glue them together with the same epoxy as you will use to build the limbs. Atleast thats the way I do it. Since they will be going back in the hot box to cure once in the form the joint in the pieces has to be as strong as possible.

I use tight bond 3 and drum sand them down to .040 or .030. I have only had one come apart and I just glued it back together with no problem.

You need to sand the joint... clean the joint with Acetone the apply good pressure as the joint dries.

I don't know much about tb2.. But we use tight bond 3 in the wood flooring industry to glue together the floors.. works great and holds up..
