This paper discusses the longterm performance of various adhesives under accelerated aging conditions, where the intended application of the adhesives is bonding wood member to composite fabric wraps. Northern Red Oak was used as the core and two types of composite fabrics were used (glass and carbon) as external reinforcements. The adhesives used for bonding include: Epoxy, Polyurethane, Isopolyester, Resorcinol Formaldehyde, and Phenolic based Resorcinol Formaldehyde. Results from the shear strength evaluations show that a primer/resin combination provided a better bond compared to the bond developed by resin system only. Also, it was observed that phenolic-based resins had higher retention of shear strength after being subjected to aging conditions.
