How and with what should I fasten the carved acanthus leaf wood corbels for sale?

To fasten the carved furniture decorations, you only need D2 or D3 wood glue, or a stapler. To achieve the right result, it is worth sanding the back of the carvings, so that microgrooves are formed, and the glue can work on a larger surface. After we have applied and evenly distributed the adhesive on both surfaces, it is only necessary to fix it while it dries. But let's look at the work in progress:

1. Sanding: It is worth sanding the pattern of the wooden ornament to get rid of small surface defects. It is also worth sanding the back before gluing. Also, if possible, the surface to be glued should also be prepared by sanding.

2. Gluing: Apply glue to both previously sanded and dust-free surfaces, then spread evenly. After that, all we have to do is to press the two surfaces together during drying. We can do this in several ways. We can press it with a carpenter's clamp, but also with weights. Professionals also use small nails to fasten it. If some glue comes out around the gluing, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth, so you won't have a problem with it later. It depends on the temperature, but the glue hardens after a few hours, so the clamp can be removed. Of course, if you want to be sure, you should wait for it to dry completely, it can take 12-24 hours.
