glue

Adhesives employed in woodworking projects that come into contact with consumables must exhibit a specific characteristic: inertness upon curing. This ensures no harmful substances leach into the food, preserving its integrity and safety. A common application is in the construction of cutting boards, butcher blocks, or wooden utensils.

The selection of appropriate adhesives offers assurance against contamination. Utilizing such specialized adhesives guarantees durability and prevents potential health risks associated with ingesting compounds released by unsuitable glues. Historically, natural adhesives were used; modern formulations provide enhanced strength and resistance to moisture and heat, crucial for maintaining the longevity of kitchen implements.
