Folks -
All-
I have seen a couple useful posts on how to repair cracked bats, but I am gonna take a shot at a bat that is broken in half. I am wondering if epoxy might be a better choice than wood glue for this. It might act as both a filler inside the break and a stronger adhesive.
Also, I wonder if it might be better to set the glue by simply standing the bat vertically on the knob and letting gravity push down while it sets rather than clamping it. Seems like one needs pressure pushing the 2 halves of the bat together, rather than on the sides.
Anyone have success with joining a broken bat in a solid and non-ugly way?
