Trying to repair loose joints on INDOOR teak chair
GACK! Epoxy has NO tolerance for future disassembly!
---------------------------------------------------- I would certainly hope not. Properly done, the epoxy repaired joint will out last the wood. Lew +1 That's what I was thinkin. Done right, it should not have needed repair now. Do it right and it will never need repair again. -- Jim in NC --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Then what do you do when you need a to replace a part and the ends in the joint are not coming out. |

Examination of the damage on a case by case event when it has happened is another matter. It's amazing what kind of repairs can be made with a little glass, some resin, a little filler and some imagination. Lew --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

When it comes to things made of wood, the lack of foresight in that statement is pretty much what's wrong with this lazy minded culture. -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://www.google.com/+eWoodShop https://plus.google.com/+KarlCaillouet/posts http://www.custommade.com/by/ewoodshop/ KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |

One could easily say the same thing about being prepared for the unsuspected when sailing. Actually it is quite likely that this chair in question will have a broken part in the future. It is not much of a hypothetical stretch to consider a chair that is used enough to loosen the joints will need to be repaired again in the future in some other way. Assemble it with epoxy and you essentially make future repairs much more difficult or impossible. Part of this societies, throw away mentality vs. built to be repaired, mentality I guess. So the hood on my truck vibrates on the highway because the latch does not hold it securely. If I epoxy it in place, problem solved? Examination of the damage on a case by case event when it has happened is another matter.
