Got to build a radiator seat and sides for a friend. What glue can I use? The ends are 15W X22H so I need to glue up but not sure what glue will work with the heat. It's steam heat but not sure if much steam escapes. The ends are solid, top is spaced boards. Thanks for an help.

I think plastic resin glue would be a good choice. It's a thermosetting resin so it can take a lot higher heat w/o creep compared to the thermoplastic PVAc glues like Titebond.

I used regular yellow wood glue for the radiator covers for my mom's. Her's are also steam, and have lasted the last 7 years with no issues.
