Franklin Adhesives & Polymers, a division of Franklin International, has put some of its expertise in the assembly of wood products into print: The division has produced a series of free “How-To” Gluing Guides to help wood products manufacturers achieve optimal results in edge and face gluing, assembly gluing, finger jointing, and hot and cold press lamination.

Each guidebook includes in-depth guidelines for adhesive application, assembly time, pressure and other factors in effective gluing.
