I'm suprised there's no suitable wood glue available locally. Here in the UK I use a casein glue sold under the name "Cascamite" which is suitable for general purpose use but particularly recommended for boat building. It seems to work well and I know many other beekeepers use it too. If Cascamite is not available in RSA, ask a boat builder what wood glue he uses. -- Malcolm Roe [log in to unmask] Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Bristol Filton Road, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, BS12 6QZ, UK Tel: +44 117 922 9331 Fax: +44 117 922 8128
