If the chairs actually wobble the wood has probably dried out so any glue is
going to crack again. I'm sure there used to be something that expanded a
bit after it was assembled but I've forgotten it now.

We have some old (as in 1930s I think) dining room chairs which need
refurbishing. They are made of oak with dowel joints which are nearly
all coming loose.

So, I can take them all apart pretty easily and clean them up but I'm
wondering what glue to use. Something reasonably quick setting would
be handy so I can re-assemble fairly quickly, but apart from that I'm
a bit lost.

Nearly all the 'wood' glue I can find at ScrewFix and Toolstation
seems to be PVA, is this the way to go and, if so, what's recommended
for quick setting?
