Wood Furniture Repair: How to Fix a Broken Chair : Applying the Epoxy for Wood Furniture Repair

[arayan83079]

Silly gooses- just don't use the 60 second epoxy and you'll be fine. There's stuff that sets in 5 seconds up to an hour...

I have glued the part that you sit on, that was broken, with yellow glue and long window clamps and the glued part is strong enough to sit on afterwards.

Using a two part epoxy aka ab epoxy is good if you are only applying it to a single repair. For a chair rebuild such as this one, the typical consumer would want to use normal yellow glue. It has more time to set up and allows for adjustments. AB epoxy dries to fast and if for some reason the spindles don't go directly in place perfectly then it could be glued incorrectly. Yellow glue on the other hand allows for error and adjustments.

I totally agree,

I was about to comment about using yellow glue instead of apoxy, then I saw your comment.
