How to Fix a Broken/cracked bat ???
Hey guys.
I got my 1st Cracked / Broken bat in yesterday and was wondering how I go about fixing it. It is like a Broken Bone coming out of your skin.
The part the sticks out is past the piece that is not, so I cant just sandwich it back together. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a scan.

Do you mind if I ask why you want to fix it?
I ask this because personally I rather not fix a cracked bat because then your taking it out of it original form from the use the player put on it.

I have a Jeff Scott piece that was totally shattered before.
Now you can't tell unless you really look for it. He does a marvelous job.
