Is it better to paint the wood with primer before gluing the pieces together or just glue the parts without priming?

I would say glue the wood befor priming because that way the glue will stick to the bare wood where not so to primer.

Dear Mrs. Taylor You can glue the pieces together then you may do the priming if you desire. Priming can keep the wood look nicer and last longer. Sincerely, Dean Haddad

It's better to glue your parts together before painting. That way you will get a much better bonding of parts together. Than too you can cover up your joint with paint better and make it not so noticeable.

Glue the pieces together before painting as the glue will hold better to a raw surface than a painted one!

the gluing area should be free of paint, oil or dirt and then glue. if you are going to prime , remember white primer for light colors and grey primer for darker colors

The raw bonding first. Before that clean of all dirt and oil first.For good result keep it over night .

I used this to make a beautiful wooden sword. Just make sure you prime the wood first, I use a spray gesso that you can get at any craft store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby. You can also use any paint primer. Make sure you use the spazstix black backer before you chrome. So prime, black backer then chrome.

I would stain the wood first. Then use the wax to give it a nice smooth finish which gives an aged patina. After applying buff buff buff!

I believe the directions recommend basic wood glue. The directions suggest crimping the ends a little bit to make some room for the glue in the holes. I have not glued mine because it is only three rows in height, and the manufacturer indicated glue would not be necessary for that configuration, and indeed it hasn't been, after many years' use.

No, this product is not a base for primer and paint. It is a natural weathering preservative. If you want the wood siding to look "aged" then use it. If you want to prime & paint for a "finished" look then use primer and paint.

I agree, you have to use both primer & top coat for it to last. Bonder also definitely keeps it in longer too.

You could just paint but the first coat will absorb into the wood and your painting won't be on the surface. I would do either one coat of gesso first or and all over coat of acrylic first.

Yes the hardware to install is included and yes it is painted with a primer. You may want to add a finish coat for increased protection. Just grab a spray can of Krylon or Rusteum.

Hello, I would suggest to use a clear two part epoxy for your application. The glue sticks will adhere wood and acrylic but strength would be minimal due to the non-porosity surface of the acrylic.

I would lightly sand the present finish and apply a primer before painting. But yes it is made of wood and can be painted.

I will be using 2K primer which doesn't need a top coat. Besure to scuff before applying.

I did not use any primer I just add the red loctite and that was it due allow for it to cure properly make sure the material is free of oils or grease

I have a lot of experience doing both. Easy to cut. Easy to paint. For better adhesion, a better look and for durability use a primer before painting.

although you can get away without the primer the joint will fail after a few years. Use the primer after you have cleaned the joint (VERY CLEAN) I would also do it on a HOT day The tape is very sticky and needs to be put down exact the first time !

Glue ... I prefer wood glue, Elmers white glue or the tan-colored water-proof wood glue. It's inexpensive and easy to clean up. The only draw back is the drying time. Joined surfaces must be taped, clamped or held steady while the glue dries. This is where the cyanoacrylate (super glue or instant glue) come in handy. They dry instantly, but the odor and getting the adhesive stuck to your fingers can be a problem. They both work good. Tissue tightening .... You must first apply the tissue tight and flat as possible. Use tissue dope (best) or diluted white glue (50/50 with water) to attach a leading or trailing edge first. When this dries wrap the tissue around the wing and attach to the opposite edge. Leave the spars or other wood in between unglued. Wrinkles are the worst and must be avoided. When the tissue is dry spray the surface lightly with water using a mister or spray bottle. Do not soak. Air dry if the room temperature is warm, otherwise put it in the oven with just the light on. The tissue can be re-soaked and re-dried several times if needed. Be careful, over-drying can can warp the surface if it gets too tight. Hope this helps Brad

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

as long as you have a sharp knife or razor blade you really don't need anything else. i've never use glue and while i do paint it its just because i hate the look of plastic for my models and the fact that it helps hide the seems.
