Split spools take a great deal of abuse. Between regular usage as well as relocates the stools’ legs can split laterally, making them pointless until dealt with because they cannot support a person without falling over. This can possibly cause more damages to the stool and can hurt the individual trying to sit in it. Repairing the split stool leg will permit you to utilize the stool securely and maintain it in your house for many years ahead.

Things You’ll Need

• Wood glue
• Wood filler
• Three clamps
• Spot
• Sandpaper
• Polyurethane.
• Two paintbrushes

• Step 1.

Put some glue on the piece of wood that has split off the stool’s leg back onto the stool leg with wood adhesive. Use secures to hold the item firmly in position so that it doesn’t move. Allow the glue dry for one day before eliminating the clamps. You then should wipe any excess glue that seeps out of the sides once you secure the piece in place.

• Step 2.

Fill out the sides around where you did re-glue of the split piece with wood filler. Allow it completely dry according to the directions on the wood adhesive.

• Step 3.

Sand down the whole leg that was broken, so you have an even surface, as soon as the timber filler is completely dry.

• Step 4.

Apply tarnish that matches the rest of the stool to the leg with a paintbrush. Repaint with the grain of the wood. Allow the initial coat completely dry and use even more layers as necessary to reach the preferred color.

• Step 5.

On the repaired stool leg, paint a layer of polyurethane, but only if the rest of the stool contains a polyurethane coating on it. Else you don’t need to put anything on the stool and leave it as it is.
