Hedgerow Pete says on his videos that he uses this glue on his woodwork and I bought some to make some hives but I'm having trouble with the setting time of the mixed material. The instructions on the tubs say mix 3.5 of powder to 1 of water. I have done this very accurately but the stuff starts to go off after 15 - 20 minutes, whereas the instructions say it should be good for 3 hours.
Has anybody used this stuff and do you have similar issues with setting time.
Also, does a queen excluder need a frame to provide bee space, either above or below - I suspect it does but I cannot find anything definitive - lots of QEs are sold with no frame so no help there.
Thanks
