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, Kyle
