Del I'm interested in your choice of glue for the rim repair. I'm a long time user of titebond products, and find that their "yellow" glue doesn't do as well as their "white" glue if the surfaces do not mate well. Titebond's Molding Glue has gap filling properties, but to what extent I'm not sure. It has worked well to fill small missing slivers and small gaps. Also, the "whites" tend to give a little to alignment stresses and heat usually will separate the joint. Epoxy is used for "permanent" repair, gap filling in a major way that requires high strength. For this rim repair, the epoxy would not be my choice either. Judging by the damage described, I would have used the maple plugs and the molding glue. Any thoughts? Paul Chick RPT Plainview MN
