Philco 49-901 restoration
#2

I started off by cleaning out the cracks. The I closed them up as tight as I could and held together with tape on the outside of cabinet. Then I laid a bead of glue on the inside. Capillary action pulled the glue into the cracks. I also used baking soda which causes super glue to set up almost instantly.

Sprinkle a little baking soda on super glue at it sets up instantly.

Something didn't look quite right in this corner and as I examined it, a piece broke off. Turns out it was an old, crude repair attempt with epoxy I think. It took a while to chip away the old glue o I could get a tight fit.

The edges are a little chewed up, but it is in the correct position now and glued securely in place.

I was able to get all the other cracks glue up very tightly.

Now to patch the hole and rebuild the edges.

That’s what I thought, but when I’m undoing 50 years of “repairs” it never hurts to check. Thanksbridkarl — 04:03 PM
