Product Description

Swel-Lock is not an adhesive but a product that actually swells wood fibers that have shrunk. It is ideally suited for tightening chair rungs and mortise joints without the need for complete disassembly. Swel-Lock has a very thin consistency that makes it simple to get worked into tight-fitting joints. This 2 oz. bottle will repair lots of furniture.

Customers like the suction of the hardware. They say it works by causing the wood to swell. It also swollen the fibers and permanently tightened the joint. Some say that it slowed the wood's expansion and held the wedge in place.

Customers are mixed about the adhesion of the product. Some mention that it's not a glue, so it'll swell and be a much better fix than glue. However, others say that it doesn't work, isn't sticky, and isn’t like aglue that stays put.

Just What I Needed
This product worked great, but it took multiple applications so don't get discouraged if the problem isn't solved on the first try. I am working on an antique tea cart and the wheels were very wobbly and the wood very dry. The wheels are all nice and tight and can easily support the cart now. Would definitely recommend this product.
