Why do wood panels need to be aged and dried before splicing

Time:
Category:Splicing Glue

When splicing wood, the prepared glue will have a shelf life, which is the active period of the glue. Using it during the shelf life can fully utilize the function of the splicing glue. Before using panel glue to assemble wood panels, it is also necessary to dry and age the wood for a period of time.

Because if the aging time is insufficient, it is easy for the product to crack after splicing.

Why do wood panels need to be aged and dried before splicing

The general treatment method for wood after drying out of the kiln is to leave it in the dry material warehouse for a certain period of time. This is mainly because during the drying process, the moisture in the wood changes due to volatilization, which can easily cause changes in the size and volume of the wood, resulting in internal stress inside the wood.

If a certain period of health preservation is not carried out, allowing the moisture in the wood to evaporate and reducing the internal stress of the wood, then splicing can be carried out. The internal stress in the wood can easily lead to cracking at the bonding point.

Kind reminder, when using splicing glue to splice wood, its moisture content must be strictly controlled. It is generally recommended that the moisture content be between 8-12%. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the moisture content deviation of the entire kiln's wood is controlled within a very small range, so that the spliced wood will not crack.
