I made this Americana Uncle Sam more than 30 years ago. I take him in the fall, so that the snow/ice don't ruin him. Yesterday we had winds above 70 mph and down he went.Glue joints broke and some of the wood had dry rot. "To save Sam or not" was the question".
I don't know of any glue that will hold dry rot then I looked way back in my cabinet and found some Gorilla glue all purpose. It looks and acts just like Goop. So here he is, all gooped, screwed and clamped up. I doubt he can take another fall, so this time I'll hold him down better. I may wait till winter to repaint him.......if he lasts that long.
