Question
i recently moved my head board out of my room i hate useing it so i stored it in my attac but my attic is the klnd that looks like a loft the door that is in the ceiling that u have to pull down and take the lader down .
well me and my hubby went to move it he did not want to remove the screws and the corner of the stair was was narrow i cracked the corner of my queen sized head board how do i fix it i took a mallet and banged down the corner but i noticed it is cracked what do i do to smooth it out and seem it correctly nothing else is cracked or damaged on the head board but i like to know how to fix that corner it is on the right hand side from the top lip of the head board like a mantel of the head board.
do you any ideas on how to fix it can glues or putty work and a banging it back to normal would work or no?
Hi Kristy, Sorry to hear about your headboard. If it is solid wood, there is some hope. I am not there to see the damage but generally you would squeeze some wood glue (titebond 2 or 3) into the crack and clamp it together tightly for 24 hours. The glue seam will actually be stronger than the wood around it. If the surface is uneven you can use a bit of wood filler to fill the uneven areas. Sand it when dry. Hopefully it should be good as new. Good luck with your repair and thanks for the question.
