Hi All
Q. I have a chair that has a loose cross rung and it needs to be re-glued. I
have heard that there is a new glue called Gorilla Glue.
Is it used for this? Will it hold?
I think Gorilla Glue is an excellent choice for putingg your chair back into
shape!
Gorilla Glue is a polyurethane glu
Gorilla glue is perfect for fixing loose rungs. Make sure to remove as much
of the old glue as possible. After you've applied the glue and stuck the
rung back in, place a rope around two outside legs and make a tourniquet
with a stick or something so you can tie it off. Leave it set up like t
I forgot to mention wetting the wood before applying the glue. I have 6
chairs with these rungs , and I think I've fixed everyone of them, and the
gorilla glue holds up better than the original glue does.

Hi Listers,
My daughter has a sweater drying rack that one of the dowel rods broke. This
unit is collapsible and has a total of 11 20 inch dowel rods for it's drying
racks.
One of the 3/8 inch rods broke in the middle. This particular rod is the main
one that holds the unit together when erect

what you got to do ain't that long of a job. Then this will work, but
if going to be a long one. Then just go buy a 12 gage cord long

Hi Lenny,
Are you sure you don't have enough room to slip a new dowel into place?
Remember that once one end is inserted you only need to distort the
arrangement about half the thickness of one end framing member to slide it
into the hole at that end. that is probably a deflection of probably 3
If your going to maybe drill one end out of the frame the hole could be
inlarged slightly, the one end of the dowel could be sanded down extra, glued,
braded, or split end with a shim would all be
possible...bob

Lenny,
if the break is long, at an angle, not straight across the rod, then gluing
it up will probably work as you'll have a goodly
amount of surface to glue for strength.
If it's a more crosswise break, then your idea, or drilling out the centers

personally I would choose drilling through, up to 1/2 inch then glue it
in. It will be heavier, if the frame will permit.
But your idea, better, will give potential shelf usage to the rack as
well.

Fertilizer is a very different thing. It is intended to persist in the soil.
Some is prized for it's long term qualities.
The problem with it is that it gets into streams or ponds and becomes easily

The quickest way that I figured was to make the sleeve. I took a 2" 1/2" x 1/2"
scrap piece of oak and drilled a hole through it. Then on the sander rounded
the corners and tapered the ends . Since the break was nearly straight across
almost looked like it was cut I put a little glue to
