Wood Glue Guide: Which Goes Where

Glue to use: Two-part epoxy. Made by mixing a resin and a hardener, this ultra-tough glue sets in about 5 minutes, fills ragged gaps, and resists water and most solvents.

How-to tips: Using the glue's double-barrel syringe, measure out the correct 1-to-1 ratio. Wear gloves and clean up drips with acetone.
