Holding together?

[Ilovemychin]

Hi guys. If i were to build my chin houses and beds out of wood, how would I hold the pieces together. Probably not nails, and are any types of glue safe. I would really like to build Ruby some stuff.

You can use non toxic wood glue. I remember some members use non toxic Elmer's wood glue.

Okay thanks i'll try that

Some people use Elmer's glue (that's what I use) and others drill holes and use wood pegs to hold them together in addition to the glue. I've personally found that by the time the glue stops holding, they've destroyed the house anyway. The Elmer's wood glue is pretty strong too, because I've had my sons leap up and down on the houses to test them and they hold up great.

Just regular elmer's glue??

I use plain elmer's glue like little kids would use with crafts. It forms a very strong bond. Like Peggy said, the chins chew up the houses and things long before they fall apart from the glue giving out!
