I may have ruined Christmas

[GardenKit]

We have had a pine table with 8 chairs for about 25 yrs, its been great, but the chairs were looking a bit tatty, so yeserday I thought I'd tidy them up. I sprayed them with a product called Armorall, which makes most things shine well.

 

After letting it soak in for a few hours I buffed them off, and they looked great, Mrs Garden was well pleased.

 

I've just been out in the kitchen, sat on a chair.....and the legs fell off:thumbdown:

 

It seems that the spray has penetrated the glue and its literally destroyed it in 3 of the chairs!!

 

Looks like a late night in the shed with some wood glue and a mallet. Mrs Garden is already in bed, so blissfully unaware. Wish me luck guys.

Good luck mate, sounds like the kind of thing I'd do!

might be worth having some back up screws and filler to hand, just in case the new glue doesn't take due to the "polish"

[Rich2484]

Don't forget some pictures for what's on your bench mate. Hahahahahaahahaha.

 

That polish wont let the new glue set well, will have to sand the areas before glue.

my deepest sympathy and best wishes for the festive season, another victim of well intentioned actions going t.ts up

Good idea, but B&Q is shut. I have a few 3" galv nails, do you reckon she will notice?

 

Actually just done the first one, without nails. Knocked all the joints apart really easily, filled with wood glue and belted it back together. Fingers crossed.

Woke the Kids up with the banging from the shed, not good when the fat fellas due.

Use an old boot to dampen the noise

[GardenKit]

Only a few more minutes and I can blame Rudolph for the noise, and the fat guy for breaking the chairs. Good plan
