Are you tired of that chair that won't stay still? You can easily fix this annoying problem overnight, with only a few materials, and relax steadily in the morning.

Materials Needed:

  • Sandpaper or steel wool
  • Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue
  • Wood clamp or tourniquet
  • Vinegar (if needed)

Step 1: Remove all old glue from both parts to be re-glued with sandpaper or steel wool.

  • Tip: Use vinegar to soften some old glues that may be difficult to remove.

Step 2: Using Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue spread glue on both surfaces. You don't need a lot.

Use a wood clamp, or tourniquet to apply pressure on joint for 30 minutes. For firmest bond allow to dry overnight.
