When working with wood, wood glue is primarily used, but many things can be done with superglue. It will be indispensable when correcting defects in parts, as it hardens in a matter of seconds. Let's consider options for its use.

1. Masking screw heads

The recessed head of the screws can be covered with sawdust from grinding the same part, and filled with superglue on top. He'll grab it instantly. This area should be sanded immediately.

More superglue is dripped onto the remaining potholes, and the workpiece is sanded. The resulting sawdust will stick and hide defects, creating a perfectly smooth surface.

2. Correction of knot defects

If there are voids on the workpiece near damaged knots, this can also be hidden by adding sawdust and a drop of superglue. If the defect is large, then it can be filled several times, alternating between sanding and adding glue.

3. Filling end cracks

The method also works with cracks on the edges of workpieces obtained by drying wood.Sawdust can be filled to the very bottom of the crack, so that not a trace remains of it even when viewed from the end.

4. Restoring corners

If the corner of a part is damaged, you can make a formwork on it from adhesive tape and fill it with sawdust. Then they are filled with glue and tamped with a ruler. The extended part shrinks, so the process will have to be repeated several times.

The ideal plane of the restored part can be obtained by grinding. Sanding must be done on all sides of the corner. If there were potholes under the tape, they can be removed by pouring glue on top. The sawdust from the sandpaper will quickly stick and close the microvoids.

5. Repair of chips on ribs

You can similarly repair chips on the ribs. To do this, apply masking tape to the corner. Then sawdust is packed into the chip and soaked in superglue.

After the extension, the tape is torn off and the potholes underneath are removed. The result will be a perfect edge, only slightly different in shade from the array.

You can also correct a chip on the edge of the workpiece. The main thing is to completely saturate each new layer of sawdust with glue. Due to the fact that they were obtained from this particular workpiece, the restored part does not differ too much in color later.
