{OK} GT (CF) - Glue Test

A short test carried out to demonstrate a modern adhesive.

A test joint was made, as a shallow scarf joining two thin sections of timber. The glue was applied according to the instructions, and the joint clamped. It was left to cure for somewhat longer than the maximun suggested, before the clamps were removed. A few days later it was tested.

One end was then clamped to a steel girder outside, and the free end pulled back until failure. the series of images were captured as the test proceeded.

The close image of a joint is from another peice of work.
