This is my first time working with wood filament and it occurred to me that if it’s 30% wood fiber then I might be able to get a strong bond with regular old Elmer’s glue. Has anyone tried this?

    Wood glue is so effective because it soaks into the pores in the wood. This gives it a lot of surface area to hold the parts together. Wood filament isn’t nearly as porous as actual wood so wood glue won’t hold it as strongly.

    Might work ok depending on what exactly you’re gluing but you’d probably be better off using 2 part epoxy.
