sprkn_ranger Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I know most everybody just fills in the kerfs with fiberglass resin, but I was wondering, is it possible to use wood glue with mdf dust mixed in? Or just use wood glue by itself for that matter? Let's hear your thoughts!

kandiman71874 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yes it can be used and i have done it. Ended up cutting it all out and filling them with resin afterwards because i couldn't get it to squish into the kerf slots worth a shit. Resin is used a majority of the time because of it being so easy to work with to do that job. Especially if you drill the air vent holes in the kerf slots..

Torres Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 i've seen people use solely wood glue to fill it in. i'd still like to reinforce it with a couple layers of glass tho personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tebo Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 wood glue is pointless for filling in holes. Wood glue cures by letting the water evaporate over a day or so. It wont fill it alll on the first you would waste a ton of product. 04 dodge dakota ext cab 4x4 excessive amperage 300 amp alt with MONSTER stud =)sundown z v3 15 in a 4th order on aq2200sundown 100.4 2 way active...2 Prv audio 6mb200 & 2 re XXX tweetersdeka intimidatorkenwood x396big 3 1/0 knu wire back to deka intimidator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownengine Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Resin all the way. When you kerf cut you make that MDF paper thin so you need the resin and mat to build the strength back up. Straight wood glue isn't going to cut it. 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT (Yea its got a Hemi)Alpine CDA-105KnuKonceptz 0ga CCA Big 3 with Yellow Top 15" SoundQubed HDC3DC Audio 1.2K (Bass)Pioneer 6x9's (Front)Pioneer 6.5's (Rear)Kicker 3.5's (Dash)Sony amp on the highs.

mobileaudiophiles Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I fill kerfs with PL premium construction adhesive if I am not fiberglassing anything else at the time. If I already have glass out, I glass it because it is easier. Either way, it is structurally sound imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
