Best glue to repair this break?

Many thanks!


As others have said, any old white glue. When it's dry, give the surface a pass with
a hot iron (use aluminum foil or teflon sheet to keep paint off the iron). The
glue doesn't make much of a seam bulge, but it goes down quicker with some heat
than with sandpaper.


Have never heard anything about using a hot iron to glue up a piece of
wood. Going to call bull**** on that recommendation.
