Joints of bedroom dresser drawers have separated and need re-glued

Some of the joints of the drawers have become separated; the sides of the drawers are wood, and the bottoms are like a strong cardboard. There's still a bead of the original glue by the joints; does this need to be removed before regluing and clamping? I hope not, because this may mean more effort than it's worth. Any recommendations on what type of glue to use? It takes considerable force to rejoin the pieces, so the glue must be strong.

Any high quality wood glue from HD or Lowes will do it. If you can close the gaps without removing the old hard glue...then go for it. Clamp well and leave overnight.

Drawers coming apart

I answered this once but I don't see my response here, so here goes...Get some Elmer's exterior wood glue. It is waterproof, easy to use and it is cheap. I'd suggest at least sanding the joints, but I've left the old glue before, since it didn't interfere with the joint refitting tightly.

Joints in dresser drawer need re-glued

Elmer's exterior wood glue is the favorite, I don't recommend plain Elmer's white glue because it isn't waterproof. You should at least sand down where the joints meet. Removing the glue is best for a longer term repair, but I admit I've taken the short route a few times. Many people think epoxy or superglue will work, and it might for a few days. Wood glue is cheaper. If you can't clamp your joint then put it on it's side and stack about 25 pounds of stuff on top of it. Books work well, or something that weighs about as much as a car battery.

Need to glue some joints in the drawers of my wooden/cardboard dresser

yes it would need to be removed ,,, scrape of the excess and use a low grit sand paper to make it quicker ........ usually how wood joints work is the glue makes the male joint expand inthe female joint making a very strong bond . for this you need to make sure all old glue is removed so the wood is exposed again so the glue can be absorbed into the wood ... pva glue works well , ask at your diy store they will be able to suggest a good adhesive. if you dont want to clean it maybe a modern adhesive like no nails may work too .... good luck

Can't remove drawers from Hayworth mirrored 4 drawer dresser

I'm not sure about the dresser drawers, but for the night stands and the armoire, pull the drawers all the way out. Feel under the drawer (towards the middle back), and there should be a plastic tab. Push the tab down toward the floor and pull the drawer at the same time. It should come right out.
