Wonderlokking Tite Chairs, Adhesive for Chair Joint and Furniture Repair by PC-Products, 20 gram 208113

We have 4 old chairs that are old, have been abused and need some love... we still really like them though. They have character and really suit the room. But hey were so loose and falling apart that we thought we would have to take them apart and really work them over with brackets etc... I don't have time for that because this is a FULL time caregiving situation now. So I looked around for new chairs and couldn't find anything similar for under $350 each. Plus these are (mostly) solid oak, so very strong wood (they are painted white). After reading all of the reviews I decided to give this a chance - SO GLAD I DID. I am shocked how well it worked! My dad doesn't believe it could be so simple to fix the chairs. After I got everyone situated for the night, I started with my first chair. I didn't clean it well first, I should have, because some runaway glue streaked on it sealing in the dirt. It's ok, they are destined to be repainted (someday) now that they are repairable. It is tricky taking off the outer cap the first time, because the directions are not clear. You don't know what you will discover, and are warned to point it away. It's ok. It's just an outer cap. Then you twist off the actual cap (which has a metal piece that fits back down into the opening to keep it from sealing off when not in use). The package contains two fine tipped nozzles to add to the top of the bottle. The very fine point is one of the reasons this stuff works so well because you can get it right into many cracks. THERE ARE TWO, but at first I thought I only got one. Mine did not come on the blister pack and instead came in a zip-lock Mylar package. The sides compress and that hid one of my nozzles. The nozzles are very tiny - so treat them like gold. You do not want to lose them!!! And I wish the package came with at least three. The glue does seem to recede back into the bottle when you stand it upright, so the nozzles are reusable for awhile. I am not sure how many times yet, I have only done three sessions so far. The glue is VERY thin so use GOOD lighting or you will not really see what it is doing and over apply it. Also, since it is very thin, it is gravity fed. Which means if you want less coming out keep it at a steeper angle and squeeze. If you want a lot, then turn the bottle more upsidedown - but be careful, no need to squeeze!!! It's very easy, just need patience and don't rush. The chair backs are layers pressed together and due to so much going on here, some got left out in the rain. The layers started to separate on one, so I squeezed the stuff in and clamped it. Voila! It is now stabilized. I am sitting on a chair now, that was about to collapse yesterday. It was so wobbly that the seat had started to crack in several places. (I didn't realize that until I took the chair pads off) Only one went all of the way through in a small area to the bottom (I started working on the chairs upsidedown). Since the glue is VERY thin and the crack was wide without being clamped - I clamped it FIRST, then ran the glue through it as a starter pass. I left it clamped overnight. Tonight, I will work from the top and hit all of the other seat cracks along with anything else that goes down. MAKE SURE YOU WORK WITH GRAVITY and apply the glue where it will always be optimal going downwards. You can get by with a little bit of sideways action depending on the connection, but never attempt anything going upwards. It's a lot like nail glue - but not, somehow. Those vary and I have used some amazing ones, yet other ones just don't perform well. I can never tell why. I am tempted to use this on a nail next time ; ) THIS STUFF IS A MIRACLE - and I don't even care if I have to reuse it again, since it has done such an amazing job!!! These chairs were headed to the trash, or worse, about to cause an accident with an elderly person in it. Now - they are solid!!! Now, they can look forward to a new life with fresh paint (someday). AND, I saved over $1500 in new chairs (that wouldn't even be solid wood or have the nice design these have). I will be trying it out on other stuff as the need arises...

Believe it! This stuff works. Follow the directions. It is very runny, so you need to make sure that you are set up for gravity to take over and also have a rag handy to wipe up any drips or spills. It is basically strong super glue, sticky sticky sticky - don't get it on your skin! Dries quickly. Stopped the wiggly chairs. I will definitely buy again.

This works well when re tightening wood joints on chairs. But I use it to fill and seal cracks in hard wood. The fluid gets all the way into the tiny split. It fuses the wood back together and the micro cracks are stopped. Penetrares completely through the wood thickness

This adhesive is works ok for tightening loose chair joint, but a few cautions should be noted: 1. Definitely wear gloves! The cap is difficult to remove, and in taking it off I got glue on the fingers of my gloves. It is like super glue and dries very quickly, and can bond to your skin! 2. The thin spout was a bit difficult to attach. May require enlarging the hole on the bottle a bit with a small nail. 3. Avoid turning the container upside down directly over the piece of furniture, as it may drip where you don’t want it.

Love that I could find this on Amazon. Usually I go to Menards or Home Depot. They don’t carry those anymore. A great product for loose joints, tightening chair, chairs, tables, etc. I’ve used this product for many many years.

The bottle of this glue that I originally bought has a cover over the top that I couldn’t remove. I tried, and it leaked all over my fingers. I’ve ordered another bottle with a different top. Hopefully, I’ll receive the non-leaking top cover. The photo is of the original bottle.

Just wanted to add my voice to the throngs of reviewers singing the praises of this fine product. It does exactly what it claims to do, and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I recommend reading and following the brief instructions included with the product. Sounds obvious, but they will help ensure your success, especially the parts about using it sparingly and positioning the joint so that you are applying it downward, so that gravity will help it get down into the joint. Everything about this product seems to be very well thought out. The product includes two small-diameter flexible hoses/tips for dispensing the liquid, and I found the them to be an excellent design that work very well for the intended purpose. If you have a steady hand and good eyesight at close distances, you will be able to apply the product properly. To help preserve the product between uses, there is a cap that fits over the nozzle, a larger cap that fits over that, and a resealable zip-lock package to enclose the whole thing. I purchased the product to repair three bar stool chairs. Encouraged by success with those, I went looking for other chairs that needed help and repaired a total of six chairs so far, that had varying degrees of looseness, and still have some product left in the bottle. One of the chairs was extremely wobbly, and had been since we got it. That one took a few separate applications of the product, but it is now rock solid for the fist time in its life. Be careful as to how much product you apply to the joint. If you squeeze the bottle too hard, you will have a mess. If you squeeze gently and allow the product to penetrate into the seam as you go, you will find that it gets sucked into the joint and leaves very little, if any, visible trace behind on the outer surface of the spindle (or whatever you are gluing).

This works!

Wow, this really works well. I have a chair with wobbly joints which I’m reupholstering. During the process of removing a million staples from the frame, the chair joints began to loosen until the whole thing was quite rocky. I applied this amazing glue, using the very fine applicator nozzle, and it now feels solid again. I can’t understand how it works so well? What magic is this?? Well worth the cost. I hope it will be useable the next time I need it unlike most other superglues.

Gap where chair back meets the seat. No means of tightening it. Glued and so far stayed tight. Glued very runny so flows into the gap.

in trying to get the outer lid off the inner lid came away at the same tip spraying glue everywhere including on the upholstery I was trying to fix so ruining it and wasting half the contents. Lots of work and effort and time and expense it is now more broken than before I started. This glue needs reapplying several times to make any difference.
