Reinforcing the integrity of each leg goes a long way in making certain they remain strong over a lifetime of rigorous use of the tripod. Therefore, a good quality adhesive between the leg facing and outer leg supports is a must in assisting the woodscrews in holding everything together. We chose Polyurethane adhesive, which offers superior holding strength. But, good old Exterior Grade carpenter's glue will also serve you well since it is waterproof after drying.
