: glue in the gluing process?

Hi John,

Apply the first coat to mating surfaces and wait five minutes. Then apply the second coat and wait ten minutes.

Just think of it as a five-ten process. Two thin coats on mating surfaces, five and ten minutes apart then contact and pressure. The first coat is a prep or primer and needs a minimum of five minutes drying time, you could leave this for hours with no problem (learned that on a tour of O'Neil's years ago). The second coat is the critical one and that will be dry to the touch and optimum at ten minutes.

Lets get together for some paddling.........Reg
