Pre-Glued Dowel Pins

In the 1990s, Chicago Dowel noticed customers’ frustrations in dealing with glue. Working with glue involves a high degree of machine maintenance. Glue seepage and squeeze out compounds the problem by adding to down time with product needing to be cleaned and sanded. To answer this need, Chicago Dowel developed a process of pre-gluing their dowel pins. A fair amount of time was spent not only collaborating with chemists to perfect a specific glue formula, but also in developing a proprietary glue application process. Eventually, the Chicago Dowel Pre-Glued Dowel Pin was born. Water-activated glue is now uniformly coated on every single dowel pin. FSC® dowel pins are available upon request.

Simply the Best

The Chicago Dowel Pre-Glued Dowel Pin is the industry leader. We start with our regular white birch pins and then coat them with an uncatalyzed, water-activated, PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) glue. Our perfection of the coating process is essential to our customers’ success in using this innovative product.

Avoid inferior imitations which have poorly dispersed glue on the pin, leaving exposed and poorly-coated parts of the dowel. The Chicago Dowel Pre-Glued Dowel Pin is generously and evenly coated to ensure the strongest bond. Please inquire today to request samples.

Instructions for Using the Chicago Dowel Pre-Glued Dowel Pin

The Chicago Dowel Pre-Glued Dowel Pin, by design, is very simple and easy to use.

Simply spray water into the boring and insert the pin. Do NOT dip or soak the pins. The amount of water necessary will depend upon the type of material you are joining.

Particle/MDF core users should use just enough water to moisten the boring, while hardwood/plywood users should use more.

Those that are automatically inserting should remove all residual glue from the delivery system and reduce the pot pressure and/or delivery time. If the automatic inserter has trouble achieving proper delivery, try reducing the orifice size.
