Blah, blah, blah, the sky is falling, the sky is falling! I've got modern chairs where the legs are falling apart, but I've got over 200 seventy plus year old radio cabinets that are still solid and tight. Hmmm, do I want to take advice from guys who assemble and restore cabinets for a living, or a self professed internet "expert" who claims he knows a guy who tried some pre-mixed glue that failed. OK, that was an easy decision.
