Any idea for glue up of the stuff?
I have lots of cut offs and would like to make 2x4's
I have tryed gorilla glue it lasted a year or two.

I'm thinking of epoxy G2 or west system.

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you,Tom
Here in Canada I buy 2x6 when 2x4 is not around, at almost 6.00 per ft
I can't trash the ripped part. I had a order of benches a few years back only to find out now,they just pull apart by hand even with biscuits. I know benchs are not marine related But the wood kind of is. Some intresting things to read here I see, being a marine parts manfacture my self.
