Wood Carving Glue

Wood Carving Tips:

Hidden imperfections in the wood can easily show up in a number of ways. One is that a small piece of wood can split. A drop of Mister Glue is the quickest fix. Gluing wood in this instance can be messy and difficult if you are to use a white glue. The wood may be split very slightly and by opening it up you run the danger of making it much worse.

Mister Glue will wick in to the fissure:
You can even have the two pieces of wood pressed together and put a drop on the edge and it will wick. I like to have the split relaxed and put a drop on then press the two pieces firmly together. If it is a very small split and you want to have a bit better control on how much glue goes into the crack, use a toothpick or pin to transfer the glue from the tip of the bottle to the split in the wood. It takes only a few seconds for the glue to set. You can wait a few minutes to continue your carving or you can wait until the next day.

Once set you will be able to easily sand or tool this section.
