Does anyone know if this item is treated with chemicals (solvents, glues, etc.)? Thank you!

It must have some sort of glue holding all of these small pieces together, but there was no noticeable odor other than naked wood when it arrived. I rubbed beeswax into it after it was assembled and that is still the only thing I smell. (Chemical odors tend to give me a headache and drive me nuts).

As far as I know the cedar is not chemically treated but if I were you, I would address that question to Amazon or to the manufacturer. I can answer other questions about the product but cannot answer any question about any treatment done or not done to the lumber. Only the manufacturer can do that.

I'm not 100% sure & maybe your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer. I did just try some on a piece of plastic & it did not etch or dissolve the plastic, and it doesn't have the strong odor that something like airplane glue has, so it seems safe. I have used it to bond cloth and paper to each other and cloth to metal only, and it really works great for those. It tacks up quickly so you don't have a lot of time if you make a mistake. And it doesn't smell so you can get by without much ventilation. I reviewed the ASTM section referred to on the label, but it just applies to health hazard statements, not contents. You can wash it off with water while it's still wet; once it dries it is permanent. Hope this helps to some extent.

Yes I got a kit from amazon that had extra buttons and glue. I clean my items with alcohol befor I glue them and I have never had a problem.

We use these for really small LEGO pieces. They are definitely some form of plastic so I personally would not use them for solvent/chemicals. Hope this helps.

Any petroleum-based solvent, such as lighter fluid (aka: naphtha) will dissolve most label glues, then a simple wash with a dish detergent will rid the item of the solvent.

Yes, it is deluted with other chemicals and water. It is a repellant and doesnt work very well.

i used Elmers wood glue. it was non-toxic which i needed because it was for a reptile enclosure. you can use what kind you feel is best. i also used little screws for little extra support. one on each end and one in middle. just have to judge what works best for you.

It is a liquid and must be shaken well each time you use it. It is great. It is water-based, so no worry about any chemicals.

I certainly dont see why not ....I would test the glue on a small spot and wait a little while to check for corrosion or color change ..but Im pretty sure you'll be ok !!!! Good idea by the way !!!

No, it has not been chemically treated.The pan comes unseasoned with directions for how to properly season it. It took a little work to get the pan seasoned as instructed but it works very well and I have been happy with it.

We've had similar things happen and my husband used a strong glue for some parts, others, he had to come up with something on his own. We ended up buying another one when it became "no longer fixable"; which we are not happy with - the previous one was terrific, why they changed it, I don't know !!! I don't know if there are any replacement parts available; you could try to contact the manufacturer.

Try some oil or grease, you can clean it off with a solvent if it doesn't work

I used goo-gon (A YELLOW COLORED OIL LIKE SUBSTANCE AVAILABLE AT MOST STORES IN HWDE DETP.)- it is an adhesive remover. Put a little on and wait a few minutes and it disolves the glue.

There is no glue. It's almost like a sticker type of cling. You can take them off and readjust too, very easy to use.

I only used a part of the glue in the container, which is a dry powder you mix with water. My container is stored in a cool, dry place inside a cabinet. I expect it will last forever as long as it never gets damp inside the container.

When it cures Bob it's almost like glass so trim it while it's soft. The good news is you have plenty of time to do that.Mineral spirits will have a negative effect on the integrity of the glue so use caution.
