I assembled a face frame with pocket screws and decided to take the
easy way out and pocket-screw the frame onto the plywood cabinet.
This was successful, except that the oak 1x2 split at one end. I took
the offending screw out and the wood went back together well enough
that it's hard to see, but I'd like to repair it so it won't break
off later.
I was wondering if I could clamp the area, drill a hole up into the
split and inject some sort of glue. I see someone has tried this, but
without drilling:


I used to have a syringe a long time ago, but mine was too fine to be really
useful for glue. You'd have to dilute the glue too much to get it through
the thing so I junked it. I have spread cracks and used a toothpick to get
glue inside the crack, working it across the face of the crack in order for
it to get down inside. If the crack can be opened enough, then of course,
you can just apply the glue inside it with the toothpick.
