I am an artist working on a project in which I need to glue thin slices of end grain and sometimes canvas to MDF or plywood. When I try to use traditional wood glue it causes the thin slices of end grain to warp. What adhesive or process would the more experienced members recommend? I don&#;t have a vacuum press unfortunately.
Should I use a polyurethane glue or will it travel up the end grain to modify the look of the surface? Is Urea Formaldehyde or resorcinol glue the only option? I&#;d prefer to be able work on this in the house and I&#;d rather not use something toxic indoors. Or will an epoxy work without warping the end grain slices? What about hide glue, or will that also cause the end grain slices to warp?
I have a similar project gluing canvas to wood so I need an adhesive for that as well. In the past I used PVA glue or Acrylic Gel Medium but the water content in them it caused the wood to warp under the canvas.
Thank so much really appreciate the input.
