Hey all

I have just had my garden re landscaped and it looks GREAT

Sadly my furniture is less impressive and has some minor cracks (its teak)

ANYWAY, I had a tip to repair it using PVA glue, which I always have cos its perfect for arts & crafts for th eboy

Just put some on your finger and smear it over the crack, pushing it in- not too much just a lightish covering. then let it almost dry and rub it back with sandpaper. Wait 72 hours and you can hardly see the crack at all!!!

Honestly its incredible!!!!
