Simply replace your glue with water.
If you are using automatic insertion equipment:
- Clean and drain all glue from your glue system and inserting nozzle. (It is recommended that you clean lines with hot water to thoroughly flush out all the glue.)
- Replace glue with water and lower pot pressure to between 10-20 PSI to compensate for water viscosity.
- Fill hopper with Pre-Glued Dowel Pins and begin.
If you are inserting dowels by hand:
The most common water application methods are: a spray mist bottle, a standard squeeze bottle and a pressure pot system.
- For a spray mist bottle, adjust the nozzle to a fine mist. Hold the sprayer next to the hole and spray once or twice daily into the hole then insert the dowel.
- For a squeeze type bottle, fill the hole approximately 1/3 with water and then insert the dowel.
- For a pressure pot system, lower the pot pressure to between 10-20 psi and adjust the gun nozzle to a short open time. Fill hole approximately 1/3 with water and then insert the dowel.
Note: Glue may be used in conjunction with the Pre-Glued Dowel Pin. This is typically done when gluing side panels or short depth applications.
