Title: Dap WELDWOOD
Post by: rainman on September 27, 2021, 02:13:06 PM
DAP is no longer making WELDWOOD plastic resin, does anyone know of a good urea resin replacement?

The replacement for Urac185 but I can't remember the name. I've used Urac but not it's substitute.

Hey rainman the Weldwood was a rescorcinol type glue- Urac was a similar alternative no longer made but its substitute is Unibond 800-I think they took the good formaldahyde out of the uraq and renamed it Lol

Dap/Weldwood Resorcinal's replacement can be found in Cascophen, I just got some from AircraftSpruce.com

Urac 185 was replaced with Unibond 800. I just got some of it too.

They are not the same and while some uses can overlap, they're sometimes better suited to different bow making applications. I needed both. I need to get some more Smooth On as well.

I haven't had the bomb poof luck out of Unibond that I got with Urac, I never had a glue failure with Urac and get one often with Unibond, my gluing procedure is the same with both of them.
