This document specifies a laboratory method of determining the minimum pressing time for glue line thicknesses close contact, 0,2 mm, 0,3 mm and 0,5 mm, at three temperatures and three wood moisture contents. This document is intended to determine the minimum pressing time using a specified procedure for obtaining a reliable base for comparison of minimum pressing time between adhesives under referenced conditions. The method gives a result that cannot be applied to the safe manufacture of timber structures without taking into account the influence in variation of factors such as timber density, wood moisture content, factory temperature and relative air humidity.
