Okay here's a new one. I was upstairs changing when I heard my 1.5 year old daughter coughing while she was eating her dinner. I didn't get too concerned until my wife yelled "Chuck" at which point I raced down the stairs faster than you can blink an eye.
In order to change direction the 180 degrees back into the kitchen, I used the banister to help me catapult in the right direction. My daughter was fine, but my banister split very cleanly at a glue seam.
I have one of those banisters that come down the steps and does a curl on top of a post with wooden spindles along the length.
My question is can I glue the top back together with carpenters glue and some clamps or do I need to replace it. Second question, the builder apparently used construction adhesive at the top and bottom of each spindle. This thing has wobbled since I moved in. Would it be better to use carpenter's glue or is construction adhesive somehow better.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
Chuck
