The Weldbond glue should hold up for the life of the wood. I have heard
that epoxy gets brittle after 5 years. But I won't be throwing frames
around, either. Unless I get stung...
As for the life of the wood, I am considering soaking the frames in food
grade mineral oil. (My top bars are soaked in it anyway.) This should
help preserve the frames.
Cheers,
