Heat Resistant Adhesive, Bonding Metal To Wood?

[gradenG]

Hi guys, quick question for you,

 

If I am bonding metal to wood, and if it needs to be able to withstand temps of up to 250F, what type of adhesive would you recommend? 

 

Thank you :)

Very High Temperature Expoxy Resin will do the job and hold together up to 360 degrees F.

You can go to this link, check the boxes that apply, and I am sure you can find something that meets your requirements. I use their products extensively for marine use repairs and maintenance.

 

Depending upon your requirements, you might also consider a clear epoxy resin coating for the stabilizer/hardener, or send the pieces out to a company that specializes in professional wood stabilizing. I would not use PEG because it is corrosive to most metals.

I didn't know that about PEG. Interesting. Even so, if PEG wood were epoxied to metal I suspect the PEG would be isolated from the metal. I'm curious why such a high temperature-resistant adhesive is desired, given gradenG said in another thread that this is for jewelry.

 

The PEG use also brings up the question of whether a PEG product being in frequent contact with skin might not be a good idea.

 

PEG

Health effects

 

PEG is generally considered biologically inert and safe. However, a minority of people are allergic to it. Allergy to PEG is usually discovered after a person has been diagnosed with an allergy to an increasing number of seemingly unrelated products, including processed foods, cosmetics, drugs, and other substances that contain PEG or were manufactured with PEG. ...

Thank you for your reply, I went through the link you sent, that was helpful. I have landed on a Devcon HR 250, which can handle up to 250 degrees. I will keep you guys posted as to how it goes. Thanks again :)

Hi Turtle, thank you for your reply. The reason we need such a high heat resistance is that the components are fit to a sterling silver liner, and this must happen before the final polish. When polishing/grinding the inside of the ring, it gets extremely hot, we are testing ways to determine the actual surface temperature, but it has fried contact cement and a few different 2 part epoxys so far. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate the responses :)
