Default GLUEING CHAIR RUNGS


"RJ" wrote in message
...

It's pretty dry down here in Arizona.
Ever since we've moved here,
rungs have been popping out of the sockets
in my kitchen chairs.

I use ELMERS woodworking glue,
and clamp the pieces when done....

Still... another one pops out every month.

Is there a better glue I should be using ?


They probably don't fit very well when you reassemble them. I would use
epoxy.
They make a material that is supposed to permanently swell the wood, but I
haven't tried it.
