Would this work to fix a cracked couch frame?
I have a damaged couch.
Flat board is plywood, you can see that the plywood and the spring strut have cracked, and the nails attaching the strut to the plywood have failed.
I plan to:
1 Cut and pull out all staples in the way.
2 Clamp the strut to the plywood.
3 Use wood screws to screw the strut to the plywood
4 Squeeze epoxy (or wood glue if that would work) into the split wood and plyboard
5 Attach mending plates to bridge the splits
