Dap 00271 Weldwood Original Contact Cement, 1-Pint

Greta glue!!!

Works well, as expected

If you want to glue something to something else this is your best bet. READ THE DIRECTIONS!! Don’t mess with this stuff it’s the real deal. The key is to wait the specified time for the two surfaces to become nice and tacky. Porous surfaces may need a few coats to build up a good varnish of tacky glue letting it dry a few minutes between coats. IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS and work outside with proper PPE this stuff will glue just about anything together in a matter of seconds on contact and the final cured bond rivals epoxy for certain use cases. Works great for gluing dense foam to plastic or webbing material provided you build up a nice coat on the two surfaces.

Had a couple of furniture rehabs I was doing that were mahogany. I needed to replace the veneer, and in my research saw that this was the best project to use. It came well sealed with clamps on top so there was no way this can was going to leak via transit. And as far as how well it works: it’s pretty awesome and sets up really fast. However the smell is simply awful. Very strong toxic smell, so absolutely wear a ventilator and use this product in a well ventilated space. I used it outside with two industrial fans running, and it still managed to sneak its stink inside my house. I had to leave the house for an hour, then air it out for a few minutes before the smell disappeared. So just a warning to anyone who is sensitive to chemicals. Be sure to clamp down your veneer or use heavy objects on top to keep the veneer flush while it fully cures, or you will get some bubbling. Nothing too bad, just a little annoying.

My old standby contact cement, still works like it should

A little pricey but works great.

This was my first time applying veneer to furniture and this worked great. I would suggest applying it with a roller as a brush doesn’t allow for an even thickness of application. You MUST wear a ventilator mask - and not just a cloth one or N95. I’m serious, this is nasty smelling stuff. I had a ventilator mask on with fresh filters, so I couldn’t smell how bad it was. However, even with a barrier of two closed doors to the garage, my husband came out to complain the inside of our house was starting to stink.

Best contact cement I have ever used.
