How do you glue wood to metal?

In: Auto Parts and Repairs, Home Improvement, Building and Carpentry, Furniture, Glue and Adhesives [Edit categories]

Answer:

In order to bond a porous surface (wood) to a non-porous surface (metal) you will need an epoxy. Often an epoxy comes in 2 parts, the resin and the hardener, when mixed together they form the bond. Be careful though, once the bond is set you won't be able to get them apart. (Try J-B Weld.)

Yes. You have to rough up the pieces and ensure you clamp them together. It will never be as strong as it is non-porous and you are not modifying the molecular structure of the metal.
