Why should wood be seasoned and dried before panel gluing?
In wood panel bonding, the prepared adhesive has a standing time, which is the adhesive’s active period. Using it within this standing time allows the assembly adhesive to perform optimally. Before using assembly adhesive to bond wood panels, the wood also needs to be dried and conditioned for a period. If the conditioning time is insufficient, the bonded panels are prone to cracking. The typical treatment for kiln-dried wood is to let it rest in a dry storage warehouse for a certain period, pri
When performing edge gluing on wood, the mixed adhesive will have a standing time, which is the pot life of the adhesive. Using it within this standing time allows the edge gluing adhesive to fully exert its effect. Before using the edge gluing adhesive for wood panel bonding, the wood also needs to be dried and left to stand for a period of time.
Because if the standing time is insufficient, the product is prone to cracking after edge gluing.
After the wood comes out of the drying kiln, the general treatment is to let it rest in a dry material warehouse for a certain period. This is mainly because during the drying process, the moisture in the wood evaporates, causing changes that easily lead to variations in the wood's dimensions and volume, generating internal stress within the wood.
If edge gluing is performed without allowing the wood to cure for a period of time to let the moisture evaporate and reduce internal stress, the internal stress in the wood can easily cause cracking at the bonded joints.
Warm reminder: The wood used for edge gluing with edge gluing adhesive must have its moisture content strictly controlled. It is generally recommended that the moisture content be between 8% and 12%, and at the same time, the moisture content deviation of the entire kiln batch must be controlled within a very small range. Only then will the laminated panels not crack.
