I’m fixing an old, extremely solidly built oak businessman’s desk – a typical touch is 1/8″ brass angle protectors fitted to the inner legs, where your swivel chair edge might damage them, and a 6/4′ QS oak top. The runners of the center pencil drawer – maple sides – have worn to the point there’s about 1/2″ clearance in the drawer opening! I plan to put strips of UHMW polyethylene on drawer side bottoms and rame runners for the next century’s use. Wuold like to glue the strips to therunners, and question is, what glue to use?
All replies appreciated, thanks.

ssittler,
I'd use the same wood on the runner and the drawer repair and forget about UHMW PE. I was trained by a german cabinetmaker and he always reckoned that it was better to match species, instead of using a hard runner and a soft drawer slip/side
It'll see you out.
Cheers,
eddie
