Wicker furniture repair material comes in lots of different shapes and sizes. Some of the repair reed comes in fractions of an inch and some are measured in metrics just to confuse things a little. You can find all the different sizes and shapes in our online catalog page. There's an inch/metric conversion tool to un-confuse things on that page too. |
What some of the Repair Reed Looks Like
Round Reed comes in many diameters. Round reed is measured in metric, but if you're measuring in inches you can go to our inch/metric conversion tool at the above link to find what sizes you will need for your wicker repair project. You might be
able to find a metric sizing tool at a hardware store too. They're just a flat
piece of plastic or metal with a bunch of different size holes in them and whatever hole your rattan reed fits in snugly is the size you will need. This cane is used for weaving chair seats and is quite often used on wicker as a wrap on legs, arms, some joints and some other areas, usually where two or more pieces of large diameter reed or bamboo need to be held together. Large reed or bamboo is often used for frames on wicker furniture pieces. Kraft Fiber Rush, as the name implies, is made from brown kraft paper and is rolled into a tight twisted round shape. Kraft rush is usually found in danish weave chairs and is sometimes found in some places in more modern day pieces of wicker. As will be explained in another area, kraft rush should never be soaked as the other materials are.
