Glueing/bonding damp timber

[CaptainHogwash]

I seem to recall once seeing an epoxy type glue that worked on damp timber - although I might have been thinking of a wood hardener. Does anyone know of any timber bonding agent suitable for use in a damp marine environment?

Thanks!

Balcotan is moisture cured and works quite well on damp (not wet!) timber. It is often preferred to epoxy by boatbuilders for anything but heavily stressed joints.

Polyurethane moisture curing adhesive, e.g. Balcotan.

I yhink that you will find that epophen is a resocinal glue, which is not the same thing at all.
It used to be called cascophen and will not glue even damp wood.
You need a D4 rated glue that is moisture curing ie balcotan or one of its derivetives.

International Paint Universal Clear Primer is a moisture cured urethane that may be easier to find than Balcotan. Not sold as a glue but makes a fantastic bond on damp wood - not wet though.

Look at the CT1 demo videos here.

Looks very impressive to me. Anyone tried it?
