Zusammenfassung:A method for bonding composite wood products comprises using a PMDI adhesive modified with a polar compound such as a lower alkylene carbonate or triacetin with a combination of conductive thermal heat and radio frequency energy. Propylene carbonate is a preferred modifier. Press temperatures and pressing times may be significantly reduced from those using either unmodified PMDI adhesives o r the modified adhesives without radio frequency energy. Laminated veneer products 38 mm in thickness can be pressed at 110.degree.-120.degree.C in as little as 7 minutes using radio frequency energy at a level of about 32 kw/m2.
