For clarification, the term "cold press" simply means a pressing mechanism that does not require heat to set the adhesive. A vacuum press is probably the best use for these adhesives. For the remainder of this page, I'll refer to the Better Bond Cold Press Glue as "BBCP". Testing an adhesive and displaying its numerical results does not really give you a sense of what it's like to work with a glue that has been perfected. You really need a side by side comparison of the working characteristics. That's why I and the chemical/packaging company sent BBCP adhesives to some of the most demanding cabinet and furniture shops in the country. These kind folks returned a vast array of comments. Some as simple as "it needs to dry faster". Others comments were a bit more complicated. One cabinet shop owners put the adhesive through a battery of man-made 'real life' tests and submitted a full report showing that a veneered panel could actually be pressed, dried, sanded and finished in less than 2 hours. Amazing! Ultimately, you have decide if your veneer work deserves the best veneer adhesive. Does it? Of course it does! But the truth is that you will never know how sweet this BBCP stuff is until you try it or see it demonstrated. It will only take one project panel to see that BBCP adhesives absolutely surpass the competition.
Below are the technical details of the BBCP adhesive versus its nearest competitor. Armed with just the data below, I think you'll find that Better Bond does indeed, offer a better bond. But you need to try it out to really see how it can make a veneer project so much easier.
