We nailed it !

THANK YOU

Remember?

This was our problem:

Well,

It turned out that the strength of the adhesive was not that much of an issue.

Instead, minimizing the amount of water that was absorbed by the wood led to the final solution.

Last December we did a successful commercial trial!

None of the respondents proposed the complete solution to the problem,

BUT,
