The results from the tensile shear strength test of the bonded veneers prepared with Application Method 2 are presented in Fig. 4. All veneers held together after drying the samples for one week with conditioning method A. However, a significant difference in the tensile shear strength can be observed for the different adhesives. The veneers bonded with dispersions of guar gum, xanthan gum, and tamarind gum from Innovassynth and Premcem show the lowest tensile shear strengths and only some fiber tear was obtained on the veneers. The higher amount of protein in tamarind gum from Premcem did not improve the bonding performance significantly. Higher tensile shear strength was obtained by increasing the dry solids content of tamarind gum from Premcem to 11 wt%. The 11 wt% dispersion had higher tensile shear strength then all the 6 wt% water dispersions and fiber tear was obtained on some veneers. The veneers bonded with locust bean gum dispersion show the highest tensile shear strength of the 6 wt% water dispersions. Some veneers displayed fiber tear. The tensile shear strength was even more improved when the veneers were bonded with locust bean gum dispersed in brown liquor instead of water. The tensile shear strength was higher than the 11 wt% dispersion of tamarind gum, almost as high as Cascol and some fiber tear was obtained on the veneers.
