I am about to restore some old oak dining chairs, primarily by
re-upholstering the seats.
Before starting that I would like to tighten up a few of the mortice
joints
that have become a bit loose and creaky.
These joints are not so loose as to be able to actually pull apart.
Is there any way to inject an adhesive, perhaps through a tiny hole bored
from the inside of the frame?
Any other suggestions, (including websites with useful practical info') ?
NB. For purposes of obtaining materials, etc, I'm in UK.
Regards.



If you can pull it apart, the best route would be to take apart the joints,
clean them of all existing glue and then re-glue and clamp them. Or you
could check out something like Chair-lok or Chair Doctor(I can't think of
the actual name) go to Lee Valley http://www.leevalley.com and look up
chair repair.
