Thank you. I didn't know this. I used some for a paddle I was going to make
out of two pieces of wood glued together to make it thick enough to work
with. I didn't end up making the paddle but did cut the glued wood into
pieces I used outside. I noticed the pieces had come apart and was
surprised. Good thing I didn't make that paddle. I'll stick to the real
stuff.
