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
