I am a confirmed fan of Gorilla Glue. We have used it here on Hawthorne Avenue to repair numerous things. Most recent repairs include a split stair tread on the back stairs and this splintered mantle. Check out what I did...
 |
Locate and clean out area to be repaired
|
 |
Spray on water to dampen area to be glued
|
 |
| Apply glue |
 |
| Clamp |
 |
| Allow glue to work. It will foam up and dry solid. |
 |
Cut away dried foam and sand
|
 |
| Ready to receive paint |
TAH - DAHHHHH! After all that, I have a viable surface on which to paint. And I thought I was going to have to dismantle the mantle (ha ha) and replace the entire piece of wood to make the repair. High praise for "Gorilla Glue".
