To gain a bit of extra height, whilst pruning, I stood on my garden bench glider to trigger off a crunching sound and a sudden downward movement. Part of the base had come apart.
I’d made the bench about 12yrs a go out of English Oak using Gorilla Glue as the adhesive.
The failed joints had pulled apart showing a glue failure - the wood is still very sound:
I never used the glue again on any other project as I didn’t like the way it foamed and I’m glad in that.
