<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FWIW, post: 889414, member: 4571&quot;]Hey all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently I acquired a Paul McCobb credenza. It had one issue. Well 2 if you count a little sun bleaching.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main issue is that the left front leg is a little weak. I was going to take it off, reglue it, and then reattach the screws, but the main bolt holding it on is stripped. I could drill out the main bolt with one of those bits made for getting stripped screws out, but tbh I feel like I could damage the leg.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also I cant get the leg to go flush with the bolt installed in there now, and I cant imagine getting it out will change that. I feel like some wood is missing and if the leg was pushed flush, the bolt would no longer align.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my plan is to get some gorrilla heavy duty construction adhesive and push it inside with a putty knife and then clamp it and let it set. Then scrap out any expanded and try to get the color as close as possible. Wont be perfect, but I think it would be good enough and strong. There will also be 2 side screws going in on the leg for additional support. The legs are built to look delicate, and that makes them, well, delicate.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is if anyone has any suggestions on another material to use besides the gorrilla HD const. Would love a heavy duty wood product I could stain close to the color.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a pic to show the leg.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]199459[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
