However, under some conditions, a member glued with dry-use adhesive may be used satisfactorily on an exterior member for certain uses. It is not practical to use both types of adhesives within the length of the same member. If any part of a member's length requires wet-use adhesives, wet-use adhesives must be used throughout its length. It should be kept in mind that the use of a wet-use adhesive will generally increase the cost of a laminated member; therefore, it fied unless actually Figure 71 Pile dolphin with wire rope should not be speci- (a) Dry-Use Adhesives. Casein adhesive with a suitable mold inhibitor is the standard dry-use adhesive of the structural glued laminated timber industry. It has proved its dependability for over two generations in Europe and North America. It is used in large quantities by other wood products manufacturers as well as this industry. Casein adhesive with mold inhibitor is satisfactory in properly designed, constructed, and maintained buildings as long as the members are not subjected to repeated wettings or high humidity over a long period of time. Although casein adhesives can withstand some wetting during erection of the members, special attention should be given to the protection of the top face of beams, rafters, or arches during shipment and erec
