Atlas Code 55 Flex Corrosion: Lets Talk About That

[Sokramiketes]

I've got some recent run Atlas Code 55 that seems to have been affected by the Tightbond II I used to glue it down.  It tarnishes more quickly than other areas.

After reading some thread somewhere I made a mental note to go back to regular Elmers yellow wood glue on the next project.

That's been my experience with Titebond II. Been using Titebond I for 2-3 years and it does not exhibit the problem. I'm needing to replace some older work with II it has corroded so badly.

Bah! Results of my test were inconclusive.

I think the sample size might be too small.

Other factors (like temperature, level of ambient humidity or types of adjacent materials) might be in play here. Not just the glue.  Then of course is the length of time it takes for the corrosion to develop.
