This demo was made to help a dollhouse owner whose 00092 siderail was broken off.

Pick and choose between the steps shown in this demo for the ones that apply to your need.

The "Dowel Locator" was from Real Good Toys.

Nail polish and the old style correction fluid are lacquer based and are suitable for repair of this product's paint. Look for "extremely flammible" on the warning label to identify lacquer based correction fluid.
