在地下室里我要粘很多木制品。我已经受够了加水混合的催化粉状 胶。我也受够了双组份环氧树脂胶、白色酪蛋白乳胶，接触粘合胶、 水性胶和新型超级胶水。胶水和我压根就没有缘分。如果用胶水把 四个已经开好榫槽的木腿固定在开好榫眼的框架里，我发现最后会 因为衔接面朝一个方向压得太紧了而一条腿要比其他三个短一英寸。 胶水顺着木腿往下滴，总而言之，我搞砸了。如果让我在地下室里 帮空军粘飞机的话那我们的国防部会伤心得不成样子。
Thank you
Paragraph 7
In my cellar I glue a lot of wood together. I've tried the catalyst powder glue that you mix with water. I've tried the two-part epoxies, white casein-based glue, contact cement, hydro glue and the new super-glues . Glue and I were simply not meant for each other. If I clamp for mortise legs into a tenoned frame and let the glue set, I find one leg is an inch shorter than the other three because the clamps were too tight in one direction. The glue has dripped down the legs and, all in all, I've made a mess of my project. Our Defence Department would be in sorry shape if I was gluing together planes for the Air Force in my basement.
