“After many years of service, my chair leg failed, I glued it back together with gorilla glue which lasted about a month before it needed additional repairs.”
This is where you failed. You needed to reinforce the leg section with either a paint stirrer (free from Lowe’s or Home Depot), then wrap it with duct tape.
Im pretty certain glue all over the outside of the leg isnt doing a damn thing. Other than looking like shit.
bubba
You sure it’s not dried puke?
also anon
@anon, the chair leg was also filled to the brim with glue, layer by layer to let it dry properly. I just couldn’t find a picture of the inside of the leg. @DrNo was right, needed some kind of reinforcement. Probably could’ve put sheet metal on both sides of the leg and fastened a bolt through both sides. Would’ve cost less then gorilla glue at that. But thus is the point of white trash repairs, I couldn’t afford anything at the time, and I just so happened to have a bottle of gorilla glue in the cabinet.
