Stuart Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have always used EGG WHITES as the solvent glue...Can use it even when the fire is lit and hot...Worked wonders over the last 20 odd years of woodburners...In fact, the fire NEEDS to be lit to "cook" the egg whites..At least you get no loss of fire for 12 hours..

Âme Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ab, I had the same conundrum. I left the glue to dry for three hours, then replaced the door & lit a fire. It's been fine (two months & counting).Should it start to peel away, I'd be prepared to try egg white... (does this really work?!!) Stuart, do you wet the string first, as for the solvent/glue? How much do you use; soak the string or a thin bead? [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
