Instructions

Step 1: Dust and clean the broken wooden furniture

As you should with any super glue application, dust and clean the area to be repaired. The repair will bond more effectively if there is no dust or dirt.

Tip

Once your item has been cleaned, lay your newspaper or old paper on your work surface to ensure that accidental spills do not cause unwanted damage.

Step 2: Apply the super glue

Unscrew the cap and carefully place a drizzle of glue onto the broken coat hook which has fallen off the rack.

It is important to know that you do not need to apply the super glue to both surfaces - applying to only one surface will give the best results, creating an ultra strong, long-lasting bond.

Step 3: Reapply the broken part

Having applied the super glue to your broken hook, stick it in place on the wooden coat rack and hold together for a few seconds to secure the initial bond.

Step 4: Allow the super glue to fully dry

Our range of repair glues and super glues offer those that set in as little as 3 seconds. However, it is important to allow the glue to fully cure for a period of 17 to 24 hours at normal room temperature to ensure a long-lasting bond.
