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 ?


I've considered trying something like these:

Mr. Grip Furniture repair kit ... I think I've seen other brands.
Anyone tried them?

I've used them for holding screws in stripped out holes; worked pretty well.
Oddly I haven't needed them in 10 years; I must have gotten more careful!
