[IBC] Glueing Chinese Stand back together

Billy M. Rhodes

I bought a few of those small Chinese stands being sold on E. Bay. Two of
them arrived the other day by "China Post" and "U. S. Mail." One of them had
come apart at the glue joints in two places. In one place there is a tiny
mortise and tenion joint
and at the other it is flat glued to the other part. (No joints, just two
pieces of flat wood.) This is a small stand and all the areas are 1/8 to 1/4
inch. It will stand as is, with the joints just pushed back together, but I would
like to glue them.
My concern is that any product I use will have to stick to the old
glue and a paint/stain finish on the stand. I don't want to try removing the old
glue and/or finish because I would probable have to refinish the entire
piece.

Any suggestions?

Superglue? Sticks most anything to anything, especially since you have a
hard glued surface to apply it to. Maybe worth a try and it shouldn't do any
damage if it doesn't hold.

I don't think I've EVER successfully/lasting glued anything with super
glue. I don't think you could stick a stamp to a letter with it!!!
Billy, Why not just give it to Rob to fix.....
ehhh?? :>)
