How do I tighten the spindles on my rocker?
by

I have a rocker / glider chair but over the years, the spindles on the arms and sides have worked themselves loose. Do I deconstruct these parts and re glue and rescrew or is there a better way ? Thanks

wood glue and flat toothpicks work great! push down into the gaps then when the glue has dried, cut the excess toothpick off with an exacto knife. you may have to use several on each spindle - touch up with a little stain on a q-tip!
If you can actually see a space where the spindles have worn the area, I would just add glue to that, otherwise you might have to pull the pieces apart, glue and reassemble.
Yes you would have to take apart to do it the Wright way and use gorilla wood glue sold at Home Depot works great
