Wood Glue, Clear, Gel, 20ml, 1.4oz, Water Resistant, Low Viscosity, Instant, Special Applicator Tip, Fixes Loose Wood Chair Joints, 20g (Set of 2)

I’ve used cyanoacrylate glues (Super Glue, etc) for years in my woodworking business. I had a client who wanted me to tighten up the joints in an old chair so I thought I would try this. But it’s just a thin version of the super glue I already use. And this thin version only works temporarily on joints. Super glue does not do well under stress and vibration. Over time the bond will break. What I needed was a liquid that would expand the wood in the joint which has disappeared ever since this chair was brought from the east coast to Colorado where we have virtually no humidity. This does not swell the wood, it just glues it. I am going to try injecting mineral oil (baby oil) into the joint through a tiny hole I drill into the joint and then fill the drill hole with epoxy. Watch for updates...

Wow. I usually don't write reviews, amazing results on 40 year old chairs.
