    Default Which glue for Bloodwood workbench top

    I am laminating Bloodwood (Corymbia gummifera) boards to make a workbench. Boards are 1800 long 95 deep & 45 wide. They have been rough cut & stickered for 10 years so are really dry. I have Titebond 3 available. Is this OK to use or should I use an epoxy & if so, which type of epoxy? I intend to scrape the joined surfaces just prior to gluing. The top will be brushed with boiled linseed oil as a finish. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Titebond will be fine. And a BLO finish is great for benches as well
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Good idea to use acetone to clean any wood with lots of resin, immediately before gluing.
