It doesn’t take a mental giant to tell you that chair rungs not only come loose, but fall right out if the mood strikes them. This general ly happens when company is around, so listen carefully. Usually when you try to glue them back you find that the rung has shrunk so much that the glue won’t hold. What you do is to expand the diameter of the way ward rung. The best way of do ing this is to make a split at the end of the rung about two inches deep, using a very fine saw. Drive a thin wedge into the split and you’ll have a nice tight fit. If this sounds like a good way to ruin the rung try applying a thin coat of glue to the end of the rung and wrapping heavy thread around it. Let it dry, add one more coat of glue, and force it into the hole. For the uneager there are little metal sleeves with barbs that fit on the' end of the rung, but these sometimes try the patience and take some urging. Remember to put a piece of wood between your hammer and the finish before you start forcing anything, and don’t forget to keep pressure on that furniture glue until it is thoroughly dry. Note: These suggestions do not necessarily mean that the col umnist has no loose furniture. and caught 21 bull frogs. Eddie Stancil divided his va cation between Goldsboro and White Lake.
