Using wood bleach on a segmented turning.

[William Rogers]

I plan on trying to do segmented turning. I have never done any segmented turning and right now gathering information. I am wondering if anyone has used the Zinsser wood bleach on a segmented turning glued with Titebond III. Will it destroy the glue joint? I don’t thing the bleach will go deep enough before gluing, but don’t know for sure.

Haven't tried it but i have bleached a lot of things. The bleach doesn't penetrate and titebond 3 is waterproof so it should be fine.

I guess no one has done this so I had a reject ring and applied the wood bleach. Really no effect on the glue joint. The bleach effect only goes maybe 1/64 deep with one application.

I did the second application of the wood bleach. The results did not show any deeper penetration compared to one application.

William, this is Titebond original…segmented, pierced and burned. The missing sections were intentional….still sticking together after a decade and my obvious abuse. Original will wash out of your shirts so only use it for dry conditions. Titebond 3 is more water rated and a little longer working time. If you have questions, PM me…if I can’t answer them, I will find the answer for you!
