That's an interesting idea, I could have used them on this one project.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Harbor Freights has it but much cheaper. I've used it on stripped bolts and
screws - steel to steel and steel to concrete - provided much added pullout
force for such a cheap and quick fix.

Titebond and Elmer's woodworking glues are the standard glues for wood
and very good brands. The wood must be clean and free from finish
and old glue for the joint to bond well. Use a web clamp and allow
the glue to fully cure, undisturbed, for 2 days before use. You
might consider a "fox joint" on the end of a rung which swells and the
rung is driven into the mortise. More often, chairs are mass-produced
and not made properly. Very dry weather can make dowels shrink; high
humidity is equally bad.

It has been about 12 years ago, but when I moved into my current home I
had several chairs (purchased in the 1920's, that were a little loose. I
bought a product at my local hardware store intended for that use. I
followed the instructions totally and I have not had one of the loosen up
yet. The key I believe is in the prep work. Remove all the existing glue
(without removing any wood, and use a product designed for the job. Not
just any great wood glue will work on this job, you need the proper one. It
is not just strength that is needed.

My answer on my chairs. Pop the rung out. From the inside of the hole, drill
through with a 1/8 inch bit. Glue, and put back together. Drill in through
the hole you made, drill into the end of the rung. Thread in a drywall
screw. That assists the glue to help keep things together.

Gross, yeah. But the only people who notice are obsessive compulsive
carpenters, and drunks laying on the floor.

It's pretty dry down here in Arizona.
Ever since we've moved here,
rungs have been popping out of the sockets
in my kitchen chairs.

I use ELMERS woodworking glue,
and clamp the pieces when done....

Still... another one pops out every month.

Is there a better glue I should be using ?
