Hello Jerry,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:

You should use PVA glue for this. I’ve never tried it with Polyurethane glue. Under the Gorilla brand, you’ll find both PVA and Polyurethane types.

George
In turning, when you attach a face plate to a piece of wood and then glue it to a paper and then attach it to the base to be turned, what glue should you use? Is gorilla wood glue ok?

Hi Christopher,
I’m thinking you mean a jointer, not a joiner. A lot of people mix up the two…

In reply to christopher_dies.

Hi Christopher. The two most common culprits for this include:
technique: If you are pressing down too hard this can cause a bowed cut
outfeed table: check to see that your outfeed table is parallel with your infeed. Use a good quality straight edge to determine this, because it doesn’t have to be off by much to cause problems. If your outfeed dips down toward the outfeed end, it could cause this problem.
Thanks
