Re: she's in ICU, but I think she's gunna live..
Bummer. Looks like you might have been able to get them a bit tighter together unless that is just glue oozing out. I wipe excess glue off with a wet rag while the glue is fresh. If it were a favorite of mine I'd would spline it.

Re: she's in ICU, but I think she's gunna live..
making some progress, she had a hidden crack running up the neck so I took the dremel and notched the crack out and made a filler for it so it won't continue to crack
here's a couple quick pics.. http://i43.tinypic.com/2nk5b92.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/dy3b7l.jpg

Re: she's in ICU, but I think she's gunna live..
You do realize that curiosity is peaked? Not just on how this repair turns out (hopefully in your favor). I mean everyones gotta be wondering, "how the hell did this happen!". Take some time and when reliving the moment isn't gonna cause heart trauma, or some kinda post disorder thing or something or other, I'm just saying its gotta be a story worth relaying. When you're ready that is.

Re: she's in ICU, but I think she's gunna live..
Honestly that looking great.. I for sure won't have the time and skills to repair a break. Electronics sure but breaks are outta my league.
Kudos! |

Re: she's in ICU, but I think she's gunna live..
Updates my man! Where'd you go?? The sooner this thing comes back to life the sooner we can find out the mishap that caused this.lol no really I'm dying to know if its gonna be all good. I heard Gary Rossington did this to his LP, yes that one! And glued it, and its still That one. Just wanna know if you get the same result cuz it could any of us. Unless the story is one of those. Is it? Sorry I'm like a dead cat.
