if its complete glue it back together,glue then tape it so it stays in place then rub it down and blend it back in

Thanks Jim, it will fit back almost flush apart from a little bit which has come out from under the ferrule.What glue would be the best to use?

[jim evans]

i use a caskamite type glue but any decent wood glue should do just give it time to set right

[The Doctor]

Yes any decent wood glue would fix(preferable clamp together). just need to sand back and re stain grain after but not a massive problem. Although i doubt it would ever be invisible.

As jim said cascamite is the best thing for it, and it it gives you a bit of time to get it in place correctly before it sets and goes hard, so you can get it lined up in the right place. I'd also agree with the using small g clamps. Put a little bit of wood between then cue repair and clamp to avoid marking it, then leave it a couple of days to properly set. Smooth it afterwards with extra fine wet and dry (start at 400 and get finer every time until youve used 2000).

Good luck.
