DON’TS

If you're trying to fix furniture yourself, don't apply any nails, screws, air nail guns, duct tape, twine, metal brackets, coat hangers or other originative fasteners. It just makes things more difficult for us professional persons when you bring in it. Don't apply any glue other than yellow or white Carpenters Glue or Hide Glue.
