<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9755296, member: 76316"]There's no reason I can think of why Titebond or Elmer's wouldn't do the job well. If you're not comfortable with using it straight out of the bottle, they can be thinned with water quite a bit. Determine what the best sequence for fit an' ease of repair is; glue an' position one piece at a time. Clamp or otherwise add appropriate small force to allow each piece to set fully prior to attempting the next. Remember that a little adhesive goes a long way; try to avoid leaving any squeeze-out or excess glue to remain where the next pieces will be placed, including the mating edges. Patience an' planning will reward you, so take it slowly. You can do this![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
