Glue Chairs

[David Storer]

I understand your drift on the ethics of using types of glue for repairs that mean that joints can not be easily disassembled. For me, however, ethics only really come into it if you are talking about vintage hand-made items that have some sort of intrinsic historical value.

If it's just a matter of fixing an old piece of shop-bought or home-made furniture that is falling apart from general use and abuse, I really don't think ethics comes into it. It's simply a matter of what will work well for maybe 10 or 15 more years and can be done relatively easily, quickly and inexpensively.
