Al B Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 I have an older secretary desk, not antique. The side rails of the drop down front have loosened and slip along the front panel. I'm thinking of applying a bit of glue at one edge of the rails to stop the sliding. Would you recommend this? If so, should I use cyanide glue ? Quote
lew Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 Sounds like a breadboard type of construction. If that's the case, I wouldn't put glue along the entire joint. I'd glue a small spot mid way between the ends. That would hold the board from sliding and still allow for seasonal expansion/contraction. Al B and kmealy 2 Quote
kmealy Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 Hope you mean cyanoacrylate, not cyanide Cal, Al B and HARO50 2 1 Quote
