Epoxy and a deck screw.

After reading many of the replies, I would like to suggest that this is
a special problem. Using the "strongest" glues is not a fix all solution.
The grain direction, shrinking and swelling etc of the joint calls for a
flexible glue and that is often not the "strongest" glue. That is why I
suggest looking for a product designed for this type of joint and not just
choosing an otherwise great glue for this job.

In the old days horse glue was used but than it was rare to have 300 pound
plus person putting unnecessary stresses on old furniture that was designed
for a 150 pounder.

re: Discussion subject changed to "GLUEING CHAIR RUNGS Special note"

Just curious as to why you feel this response is "special" enough to
warrant a change in the subject line. While there is certainly nothing
wrong with it, it doesn't appear any more special than the other
responses in this thread.

I changed the heading because I believe my response was a response to
many of the responses and not a response to the original question. Also I
did not want to respond to all those responses specifying one or another
kind of adhesives.

I would like to that this opportunity to say that most of those
responses I replied to offered suggestions that should work and should last
for a long time. I would still suggest that while their suggested materials
may be sufficient much of the time, the use of the "right" material should
work longer and under more conditions.
