: Guys, I'll be needing to steam and glue some ash stems soon. What kind of
: glue is best for damp wood like this? Should I use TB2 or mix up a batch
: of epoxy with wood flour? This StormSLT is strung pretty tight at the
: ends, I'm leaning to epoxy.

when i did my stems i steamed 1/8" ash strips taped them in place left them for a day to dry out. removed and then used wood glue. worked fine
