Solid Wood Office Chair Repair

Solid wood office chair repair mainly includes aspects such as broken leg repair, structural repair, and surface treatment. The specific repair methods are as follows:

Broken Leg Repair

• Joint Treatment: First, clean away the excess wood shavings at the broken leg joint to ensure accurate alignment and avoid misalignment.
• Adhesive Fixing: Use King Kong glue for bonding, with a ratio of 1:1, which has a fast curing speed. Then, fix it with a staple gun to make the connection more secure.
• Gap Filling: Fill the gaps with wood powder and compact it. Pour in 502 glue and then sand it. If misalignment or unevenness occurs during sanding, first scrape it flat with a blade, then sand it smooth with coarse sandpaper. Pay careful attention to corner positions, avoiding missed sanding or excessive pinholes. Finally, sand the entire surface with fine sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish, and then polish it with thinner.
• Color Matching and Painting: When matching colors, use white as the base and adjust the consistency appropriately. Then, add a small amount of yellow essence and black-brown for further adjustment. Once the color is close, add an appropriate amount of brightener to start painting. Light-colored furniture does not require a base coat. Use the matched topcoat to dot the wound. After the wound is covered, gradually blend it evenly towards the surrounding area. The topcoat should be relatively thin during blending to avoid obvious coverage. During the blending process, use fine sandpaper for light sanding frequently to make the color more even. Finally, lightly cover the sanding marks with the topcoat.
• Texture Drawing: When the texture color is light, it can be deepened and highlighted with the topcoat. First, use the tip of a pen to dot the main texture, then scatter the brush and sweep out broken textures. When sweeping, use a light touch, following the principle of sweeping less rather than more and sweeping lightly rather than heavily. Then, fill in the interrupted main texture and finally use a matte paint surface blender to achieve the desired gloss level.

Structural Repair

Structural repair may include replacing casters and locks. For caster replacement, first determine the model and specifications of the casters, then carefully disassemble the damaged casters. When installing new casters, pay attention to the installation position and direction to ensure they can rotate normally. For lock replacement, first understand the type and installation method of the lock. When disassembling the old lock, operate carefully to avoid damaging other parts of the chair. When installing the new lock, follow the instructions for correct installation and adjustment.

Surface Treatment

For surface treatments such as paint peeling and scratch repair, the repair process usually includes steps such as filling defects, color matching, layered painting, and gloss restoration. Fill depressions with a mixture of glue and wood shavings and sand them to match the original paint surface. Small-area scratches can be repaired with a touch-up pen or nail polish. Cracks should be sanded according to the material or treated with special repair wax. For severe cracking, putty should be applied before spraying paint. The operating specifications emphasize base surface cleaning, color difference control, and the principle of layered thin coating. During repair, the ambient temperature, humidity, and coating viscosity should be controlled.
