These are general hints. Refer to the instruction sheet for detailed
information on gluing your specific product. Your unit may not need glue.
1. We strongly recommend that you first lay out all the parts and familiarize yourself with
how they fit together before assembling with glue. Glue will set up quickly and can cause
damage to the parts if you try to reposition any that have been assembled incorrectly.
2. Glue usually takes several hours to cure (or harden) but it will sometimes set up, or grab,
in several seconds. Therefore, once you begin final assembly, be sure to proceed quickly
and diligently.
3. We recommend that you use a good wood glue, such as Elmer's Wood Glue or White
Glue, Titebond Wood Glue or the equivalent; unless the instructions call for a special type
such as a slow drying epoxy glue. Carefully read the glue manufacturer's label and follow
all instructions.
4. Be sure the holes are clear of any dust so the glue will have a clean surface to adhere to.
Blowing in the holes before gluing is recommended, but be sure to protect your eyes.
5. Avoid getting glue on surfaces to be finished! Most stains or finishes will not penetrate
where glue has been spilled. Wet glue can be wiped off with a damp cloth.
6. Do not over glue! It is important to apply an even coat inside all holes and slots. Use a
small dowel or pencil to spread glue evenly around the inside of the holes. Because of the
fit of the spindles or dowels in the holes, the spindle or dowel pushes glue to the bottom of
the hole. If too much glue is used, it will fill the hole and not allow the spindle or dowel to go
all the way in.
