FAQs
Is this glue waterproof?
Bison Wood Glue dries to a moisture-resistant film, meaning it can withstand moderate exposure to water but is not fully waterproof for continuous immersion.
What is the drying time?
Drying time varies depending on application thickness, temperature, and humidity. Generally, allow at least 30 minutes for initial set and 24 hours for full cure. Clamping is recommended during this period.
Can I use this glue on laminate or veneer?
It can be used on wood veneers and some laminates with a porous backing, but testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended first.
How long is the shelf life?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, Bison Wood Glue typically has a shelf life of 1-2 years.
Can I paint or varnish over the dried glue line?
Yes, once fully cured, the transparent glue line can be painted, stained, or varnished over, blending seamlessly with the wood.
What is the best way to clean up excess glue?
Wipe away any wet excess glue immediately with a damp cloth. Dried glue can be removed by scraping or sanding.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not bonding effectively.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly prepared. Apply sufficient glue and ensure adequate clamping pressure for the recommended drying time.
Glue appears milky or cloudy when drying.
This can sometimes occur with excessive application or in very humid conditions. Try to apply a thinner layer and ensure good ventilation. The bond strength should still be adequate.
Glue has dried on tools or surfaces.
Wipe away excess glue with a damp cloth immediately after application. If the glue has already dried, it may need to be carefully scraped or sanded off.
Glue has become too thick to apply easily.
Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use. If the glue has thickened slightly, a small amount of water can be added and mixed thoroughly, but this may affect moisture resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure surfaces to be glued are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old adhesive. Apply a thin, even layer of Bison Wood Glue to one or both surfaces using a brush, roller, or spatula. Join the pieces immediately and apply firm, even pressure using clamps. Wipe away any excess glue with a damp cloth before it dries.
Compatibility: This adhesive is specifically designed for use with most types of wood and wood-based materials, including solid wood, plywood, MDF, and particleboard. It is not recommended for use on plastics, metals, or other non-porous materials.
Care: Store the glue in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to maintain product quality and prevent drying out. Clean up any spills or excess glue promptly with water while wet. Once cured, the glue is difficult to remove.
