Cracked in the head/stock
Looking for advice on the best product and technique for getting adhesive deep into this tight crack. Under string tension, the headplate has a visible stress line but no damage in the finish. The crack does open a bit with a little pressure but I’m hoping to avoid cracking through the HP. Thanks so much

I’ve diluted titebond with distilled water to fix things like this. Press carefully to open the crack, apply the glue, then pat the glue down into the crack with my finger.. Push the crack shut and open a few times to help spread the glue and repeat.
Other people I know have used suction cups to pump the glue down into the cracks.
I’ve also known of people taking the rubber piece off the syringe and flipping it around to create a suction cup for pushing glue down in.

@patreon_75544175 has a suction cup syringe rig that’s pretty sweet

Yeah I would probably blow in some slightly watered down TB with the ol’ compressed air/suction cup method.

Do that.
