Tired of Waiting for Glue to Dry? Here’s a Faster Way to Build Smarter

Tired of Waiting for Glue to Dry? Here’s a Faster Way to Build Smarter

Steve Krause |

Let’s be honest, glue is great until you’re stuck waiting for it to dry. You’ve got your boards lined up perfectly, clamps ready, and then… nothing. You wait. And wait. And wait. Depending on the glue and the wood, that cure time can kill your momentum and your weekend.

So, what’s the move when you want to keep building, rather than babysitting your project?

The Brad Nailer Shortcut

A brad nailer is the fastest way to secure your glued joints instantly, giving you the freedom to keep working without compromising the strength of the bond. Think of it as a hands-free clamp that doesn’t take up space or require a ten-minute wrestling match to position.

Instead of clamping every corner and praying it doesn’t shift, you can drive a few slim brad nails to hold your materials in place while the glue cures. The result? Stronger joints, straighter builds, and way less waiting around.

Why It Works

  • Brad nails are thin and discreet, so they won’t split your material or leave bulky holes.

  • They act like temporary (or permanent) reinforcement to hold joints tight.

  • You can skip the glue-drying downtime and move on to the next step immediately.
