N2  - Rubber solutions were prepared and used for bonding wood pieces. The effect of the variation of chlorinated natural rubber (CNR) and phenolformaldehyde (PF) resin in the adhesive solutions on lap shear strength was determined. Natural rubber and neoprene-based adhesive solutions were compared for their lap shear strength. The storage stability of the adhesive prepared was determined. The change in lap shear strength before and after being placed in cold water, hot water, acid and alkali was tested. The bonding character of these adhesives was compared with different commercially available solution adhesives. The room temperature ageing resistance of wood joints was also determined. In all these studies, the adhesive prepared in the laboratory was found to be superior compared to the commercial adhesives
