I'm using a very standard old wooden chair for my
desk (it feels good, for some reason), but the dowels
that hold it together have come loose.

I've been gluing wood in various ways and for various
purposes for 20 years, but I cannot seem to get glue
to hold this chair together for more than a few days.

I've tried yellow glue, polyurethane glue, cyanoacrylate
glue, even tried epoxy resin. But those joints just don't
hold, esp. where the seat meets the back.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
