My table is falling apart, thoughts on how to glue the pieces back
together?

I'm thinking a urethane glue, like Gorilla Glue, but, I really don't know.

Ronald,

'73 makes it a Gemini interior. At least it isn't particle board.
Problem with the urethane glues is that they expand when curing and require moisture to cure. There will probably be enough moisture in the wood for it work, but it will still expand unless you can stop it - all over the glued area.

A question: How coming apart? Can you be a little more descriptive and specific.
I am willing to bet it can be salvaged, but it may take some interesting tools to do this.

Do you have a friend that is a boat builder? You may need to borrow all the C-clamps you can imagine in one place.

Please outline what you have and where you will be working. You may be well set already and not even know it.

Matt

Falling apart as in cracking or laminate peeling?
Two different glues for two different problems!
