This guide will show you how to repair a crack in a generic plastic chair. The cracks this guide specifically addresses include partial cracks on the chair body/legs and full cracks on the chair spindle.

This guide focuses on how to repair a crack on the chair spindle. It involves making a new seal for the crack using super glue and baking soda and sanding it down to bring the broken area back to its original look.

Warning: Work in an area with good ventilation. Isopropyl alcohol is flammable. Additionally, wear protective clothing to avoid getting super glue on your clothes or skin.
