I had a similar problem with an antique table top. Opened the crack up
as much as I could with wedges. Works a SMALL amount of Gorilla Glue
into the crack with a paper clip. Then used "pipe" clamps to hold it
together while glue set up. Be careful, as Gorilla Glue "foams" and
you can have quite a mess. As on poster suggested, maybe a "mending
plate" or two underneath to strengthen it would be a good idea as
well. Set them when you have it clamped together. Make sure the drill
holes aren't too deep.


There is no need to use Gorilla glue or any other polyurethane glue.
It is weaker than plain old yellow wood glue and wood glue doesn't
need water to activate it, like Gorilla glue does.

I'm sorry, after reading the subject header I keep double checking if
indeed I opened the wreck newsgroup or if I accidentally wandered into
either a taylor/sewing newsgroup or weight watchers.


I kept wondering how long it would be before somebody made a crack.
