Glue for split wood
 

The 2x2 inch hardwood side-rails of my library steps
split in an accident some time ago.
I'm wondering if there is a thin wood glue
one can insert into the splits, before clamping them?

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

Look for Veritas Chair Doctor kit
It comes with a syringe to inject the extra limpid adhesive into fine
crack or indeed small holes leading to the split.
If you don't have small drills to hand, then cut the head off a panel
pin and use that as a drill.
