An adhesive system for preparing lignocellulosic composites comprising a) an aqueous primer composition and, b) a polyurethane adhesive composition, wherein said aqueous primer composition comprises: from 0 to 25 wt. %, by weight of the composition, of polyol selected from the group consisting of water soluble polyols, water dispersible polyols, water emulsifiable polyols and mixtures thereof, wherein said polyols have a molecular weight less than 5000 daltons; and, up to 10 wt. %, by weight of the composition, of surfactant selected from the group consisting of water soluble surfactants, water emulsifiable surfactants and mixtures thereof, with the proviso that the aqueous primer composition must comprise at least one of said polyol or a surfactant having hydroxyl functionality and a molecular weight of less than 5000 daltons.
