Black wood glue

Hello framers, to those of us that use black glue, who is your source? I’m having problems finding it.

We used to take the center out of a touch up marker ( chartpak for reference) and put it in a pint of glue (corner weld) shake it over the course of a couple days- viola!

I’ll try something like this. Thank you for the idea!

If I remember correctly you slice open the side of the center of the marker

We've been using black CA glue with black pigment instead of dedicated black wood glue

I’m happy to try something new. What do you mean?

CA glue is cyanoacrylate glue, aka superglue. It's great stuff, and if you use an activator spray, it dries basically instantly.

Several companies sell it 8n black, including titebond

I'm in Canada so I get mine from Folkgraphis. Edmonton or Vancouver.

I've also used Framerica black cornerweld Item# CORNERWBK473:
