This is my first time working with wood filament and it occurred to me that if it's 30% wood fiber then I might be able to get a strong bond with regular old Elmer's glue. Has anyone tried this?

It's sawdust mixed with plastic, by my understanding, so it doesn't have the porosity or structural solidity of wood. I'd stick with superglue, epoxy, or a construction or industrial adhesive—something that will bond both wood and plastic.
