Now for the question. Most all the dowels are lose in their sockets. What
is the best glue to use to get a good joint? I have used some Elmer's
before, and the things came loose soon after. Is there a particular brand

and expanding, I'm not so sure of using it.


I've never used it myself but I've read some good reports on
Chair Doctor glue:
