Mechanical Resistance
Fine Woodworking magazine ran a number of test to evaluate the mechanical resistance of wood joins with different glues, the results were as follows :
JOINT STRENGTH AS % OF TYPE I PVA GLUE
Type I PVA glue (Waterproof) 100%
Slow-set epoxy 99%
PVA glue 95%
Liquid hide glue 79%
Hot hide glue 76 %
Polyurethane 58 %

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical and/or resistance:
“Industry has operated against the artisan in favor of the idler, and also in favor of capital and against labor. Any mechanical invention whatsoever has been more harmful to humanity than a century of war.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
