This is my first time working with wood filament and it occurred to me that if it’s 30% wood fiber then I might be able to get a strong bond with regular old Elmer’s glue. Has anyone tried this?

So… going to preface this by saying it’s not the best… but you “can” use pva glue (white glue and “wood” glue are the same thing- pva) but it’s not as strong a bond.
The trick is to make the surface extremely rough so the pva had something to stick to.
Most kinds of glue will require some scuffing, too.
Also if the part flexes, barges cement will be better than CA. Barges is useful if you want to have very neat glue ups- you paint it onto both parts in a thin layer then let it dry. It adheres to its dry (but still “live”) self but not much else.
