Regluing `13spindle peace in front of the shelf in the BR.

This has been a source of frustration to reglue and have it last over the 20* winter and 100* summer. So far DH has used Elmers wood glue,super glue,Gorilla glue and Museum putty. This is gluing wood to wood. The museum putty was an epic fail. Going to try two part epoxy. Any body have a good suggestion. We also have this same structure in the front of the TT. DH has also had to glue this one. They come unglued if you look at them the wrong way.!! This is something that could have used a longer fastener at the time of TT build.

For wood to wood, my goto choice is Titebond Ultimate III: Amazon.com I use it for both interior and exterior repairs and have never had it fail. I apply to both sides and clamp until cured.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have to go shopping at Walmart. It is listed on the internet that they carry Titebond. Plan B have DD pick me up some when she goes to work at HD. I knew about Titebond. Never used it. It is nice that it comes in smaller sizes. Owning a home it is good to carry many glues for all types of fixes. Thanks again.

Went to Walmart and was amazed to see several isles had been rearranged. Couldn't find any repair glue in the store. Stopped at HD and sent DH in for Titebond 111 glue. Will probably wait until we have the HiLo in front of the house where i can plug into electric. Then I will sand the two wood services...glue and clamp.

Another adhesive I really like is E6000: E6000 2 oz. Clear Adhesive 237032 - The Home Depot It comes in clear, white and black. It glues almost anything, including fabrics, glass, most plastics, metal, and wood. But not, Styrofoam! Titebond will be better for most wood to wood applications, but E6000 is great stuff too.
