Some 30 years ago my wife and I made a pine Shaker lamp table. We glued end strips on it to hide the end grain. We were unaware, at the time, that this was not a good choice to attach the strips. One strip has fallen off. I do not recall what type of glue we used.
I wonder if the two mating surfaces were lightly sanded and thin coat of hide glue applied and let dry then another coat of hide glue applied would work? I would not glue the final two inches on the ends.
Thank you.
