Hello everyone, I have a few Malm furniture pieces with some small damaged areas and edges. My question is: which adhesives are best suited for repairing Malm furniture, especially when it comes to cleanly and permanently gluing broken edges or cracks? It is important to me that the glue remains as invisible as possible, penetrates well into the rather smooth veneer material, and does not cause discoloration. Additionally, the repairs should be durable for everyday use without being noticeable. Does anyone have experience with suitable adhesives or can recommend specific products? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have had good experiences with epoxy adhesives. They usually dry clear and provide a strong, solid bond. However, they are not flexible, so they can break under movement or impact.

Are they invisible enough when dry?

That often depends on the application. When applied thinly and properly fixed, they are almost invisible.

PU adhesives do expand somewhat, that’s true, but this can be controlled by correct dosing.
