I am trying to create a custom dash and want to glue wood veneer to the metal dash - what is the best glue? I tried Elmer's wood glue and it did not work too well - any suggestions? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

My plan is to do a wood dash as well. Have you considered screws? Black anodized self tapping screws would look really sharp, I bet. And allow you ro remove the dash as needed. This is how they do it for a lot of boats.
If you want to use a glue though, Liquid Nails and Gorilla Glue and 2 part Epoxy will all get the job done. Beware, though. If you bond it, it will be a perminant dash. Make sure you engineer any future work fixes into it now. Good luck, and post pics. Zach |
