Does anyone have a tried and true Bamboo Core "glue" that works in building up vertically laminated bamboo cores? I have vertically laminated bamboo in planks but need to make them wider.
Thanks in advance..

Core glue
I was concerned with the heat in the press. I was told the Entropy Resin I might use for the lay up is a very solid wood glue as well. I will look into TITEBOND III and the 3M tapes. See what pans out
Perfectly, I use regular Titebond wood glue to build cores using bamboo flooring and hardwoods.COsurfer wrote:Wouldn't wood glue work?
Not so. Planing bamboo has proven difficult for me. I just rip it on the table saw using a 24 tooth rip blade. I use a router and template to prep the bamboo for sidewall blocks, no planer.COsurfer wrote: As noted in other posts on here I would plane the edges first, no sanding.
FYI, I use Titebond 3 on the binding mounting screws. This stuff cross links and is really strong, great for securing screws into bamboo.

We use vertically laminated bamboo sheet material for our skis with great succes. Check www.bmb-ski.nl (English on the right top)
