Mashuga, can you explain your preference more. I looked up Titebond glue and its pretty much the exact same price for a gallon, around $16. It seems to me, the stronger the glue holds the two pieces together, the better. 'Overkill' doesn't seem applicable. When you say foaming action, do you mean stirring it causes it to foam? Because for the added bonding strength, I would be willing to treat it 'delicately'.

that polyurathane glue works by absorbing moisture. when it does, it also foams up automatically. It dries hard, and can only be removed by mechanical action.

If it foams in the 'wrong place' then you could be up shitcreek. think of that insulation stuff you see, they spray a little into the cavity and it expands 'a thousand times' if you follow. 'same' with that glue.

one inch width on twelve inch depth would not 'feel right' to me. NO data to back up that gut feel tho!!! so I could be completely wrong. Do you need twelve inches is maybe the question.there seems to be general consensus that diffusion itself is not required that low, but it does carry with it the added advantage of a low design frequency (diffusors work best at DF * integer, think it is part of collos scoresheet).

Engineering, always pick your compromises! BUT, we do not really have data that tells us WHERE in the FR it is best to have diffusion, that would help a lot in being able to pick our compromises!!

(hope you asked trevor that question bill)
