An Evaluation of 21 Rubber-Base Adhesives for Wood

An evaluation of rubber-base adhesives for wood was made because these adhesives seem to develop strength at normal room temperatures with only contact pressure. It was found that while rubber adhesives do develop some low level of strength at room temperature the full joint strength is much lower than conventional types of wood glues. The final level of strength is also much lower. Another disadvantage is that rubber adhesives require application of one or two coats applied to both gluing surfaces. Conventional glues, on the other hand, need only one coat applied to one surface.
