As you know, if you have followed this thread for a while, I am an inquisitive person. I like to examine some things for myself and make my own decision.
Such was the case, with wood and glue. No, not to join 2 pieces of wood together. I was curious as to how it would work to cover a piece of wood to make it water proof.
So, I took a piece of cedar, and coated part of it with the Titebond 3 that I have just to seed how it would darken the wood.
Titebond doesn't dry fully clear, so I was expecting it to really cover the grain of the wood.
Well, it did darken it a little, but not nearly as much as I thought it would.
The center section here, is where the glue was applied. The rest of the wood has no finish on it at all.
