We bave wood ebairs

8 which the spindles
bave come loose on,
what product would
be best to use to
tighten them?

@ Colonial wood furniture
is not the only type of

@ furniture that tends to
get loose and unstable.

Any pizce ‘of furniture that has dowel joints get louse if
allowed to dry our because the glue will lose its bond. Spindle

chairs,

rocking chairs, cofice tables to name a few are noton-

ous for coming unglued due to the different moisture levels itt
the home over the course of the year. Being 2 fibrous materi-
al, wood accepts moisture which ‘will expand and tighten the
joint. When allowed to dry out over the winter months the
joints will shrink and come loose making the chair or table
unstable. By using a product called Wood-tite or Chair Lock
you can remedy this problem. The material comes prepared
Teady to use ina self dispensing borle. Ap; ely the Wood.tite or

Chair Lock around the dowel or spindle

lowing it to work in

around the joint. When the joint will not take any more of the
adhesive stop and allow to dry overnight. The Wood-tite or
Chair Lock expands the wood fibres curing them in the fully

expanded positicn tightening the joint.
