An alternative to the clamps! I think the glue will dry without issues, though it can make a mess if there's too much.

- londons_explore 4y agoPVA glue won't dry in a vacuum bag.
- khobragade 4y agoI see. I missed the _drying_ part. The moisture has to go away from the glue for it to dry. We can help here by placing a flat water absorbing material on the tape!
- ajford 4y agoPVA glue will indeed dry in a vacuum bag. Most wood glues used for veneer pressing or lamination are indeed PVA glues and vacuum pressing is one of the best ways to get an even clamping pressure on complex or bent laminations. PVA glue cures by eliminating moisture from the glue, and the low pressure of the vacuum will serve to accelerate the loss of moisture from the glue.
- londons_explore 4y agoGluing wood in a vacuum bag is kinda a special case - the moisture doesn't go into the vacuum pump - instead it absorbs into the dry wood.
- kragen 4y agoMaybe the pages could absorb it?
