failed glue joints-help needed

Probably. Can you post a 640x480 photo to a web page or to news:alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking ?

Can the tenons be pulled apart (even slightly)?

stretchers are cut in the shape of a very large dovetail which is set into a through socket cut into the top of leg. the whole joint is exposed. looks quite nice but the glue eventually failed. If I could get a glue with good viscosity to flow down into the joint, I think that would do it. not sure what to use or how to force it in.

What's the reason for the request for a specific picture size?

I'd choose the glue for holding power rather than viscosity.

A syringe-type applicator would probably allow you to force glue into the joint.

So /I/ can see it, too.

Or indeed a syringe, as bought over the counter of the chemists.

Your monitor doesn't display pictures that are larger than

Not when when the server strips 'em off or drops the post altogether.

Aside from that, unnecessarily large image files would seem inconsiderate of dial-up users.

I have had some luck with the syringes too, mostly on chairs. They make kits with a thinner glue that supposedly spreads out better within the joint. But, I have done OK using regular carpenter's glue like Titebond.

BTW, the glue syringes have varying sized of needles, and don't try to just poke it into the wood. You should work the needle into the edge of the joint, or drill a small hole just larger than the needle.

Don't need a alcohol swab either.

On a 30" monitor set for 3840 x 2400, a 640 x 480 looks really small.

Alright. I don't frequent abpw and I didn't realize that there were limitations on that end. I thought you were talking about your personal preference. Thanks for the info.

No worry. My personal preferences would be to be able to embed images in posts here, have a monitor/video card like robatoy's, and for all of us to be on gigabit wireless.

Hmm - as long as I'm wishing, I might as well wish for some of that magic mud, too. :)

That's why I use flickr instead of ABPW--upload once in the largest size and flickr makes thumbnails in a variety of smaller sizes. For onesie-twosies it's a free service. Retention is as long as flickr stays in business.

A syringe with a 14 ga needle....grind off the point, keep center clear.

Yea - I have a nice brass syringe and a small set of needles. One is 7" long and is square on the end - normally. Others are reclaimed from my wife - large massive ones. B12 3" long into the thigh.

Vets have them for animals - they might be more willing - larger sizes and not people sizes.

Oooo, shudder!
