How do I glue two curtain rods together?

I'm using old curtain rods, from the dumpster!!, for wall hangings. What's the thoughts of gluing the 2 pieces together??

  • If it works, why not? Sure wouldn't hurt to try

    Would work is they slide into each other. I would use hard-as-nails glue. That stuff never comes loose

    I wouldn't advise gluing them together because, with the weight of the curtains, they are sure to sag in the middle. Although they seem like a good find it would be quite inexpensive to buy new curtain rods in Walmart.

    I'm glad I didn't offend you and hope your project goes well. I am in the thick of DIY now and am in the process of putting up a backsplash in the spare bathroom (trial run for the one I intend to put up in the kitchen). Bathroom one is colored flat-backed marbles from Dollar Tree, yes really, $1 a bag. I've seen some great videos on Google and Hometalk. I have just baked some of the marbles, and shocked them in ice, so now they are all crackly and interesting. The kitchen backsplash will be in cobblestones and maybe a sliver of chipped colored glass here and there. I'll see how the bathroom one turns out first.


    Have a great one with the wall hangings. Let us know how you get on.

    Check at Penney or Lowes...they have for rextenders that fit in the middle of your rod. Not expensive
