Will it work?

[KellyG]

Will this work or should I just order a piece of bamboo that would cover the whole thing. Would Titebond II work to hold it together? I have not found the suggested Urac-185.  I think I remember it being suggested for some projects just don't remember what for.

The two problems with the bamboo I see is the seams where they meet at the handle and side by side.

I forgot to add to fix this?

I think you'll be waisting your time.. Just my opinion,,, Sorry!

no just learning the hard way.  

[John Scifres]

I'd say no but it doesn't hurt to try.  Keep us informed.  Be careful with bamboo.   Nasty splinters abound.

I'd be surprised if anything worked, but hey, surprise me!

Sent you a PM about a source for Urac.

The thing about trying a repair, you learn a lot in the process.

More on Urac:

I usually buy two pints with hardner and keep one in the frig until I need it. It will keep for 3 years or so if you store it in a frig, around a year at room temp. A pint will glue up 5 or 6 bows.

thanks I don't really know just trying Ideals. I mean I could take a chance and just try to split it the rest of the way and decrown and back. If the split did not run straight and true I would be stuck.
