Wood glue and a c-clamp?

This should be a fairly easy DIY. Get some wood glue and proper clamps. Both should be readily available at Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Rona, Princess Auto etc...

Edit: ^ you beat me to it :)

Looks like someone raged while playing SSF4.

nope my sticks cost way too much.

My first stick was overpriced and shitty builder. Fell off my bed and cracked.

I think my bar clamps are loong enough to apply pressure to the joint after its glued.

You can stop by my job site today or tomorrow and I can take a look for you. You'd have to leave it for 24 hours, so its up to you if 2 trips to New West are worthwhile.

honestly though, it may be easier to do a trip to ctc. You don't need a c-clamp, you need a bar clamp, preferably with rubber ends so you don't mar the surrounding wood. Jam a shitload of glue in the crack and add pressure. Wipe off the excess glue and call it a day. If the joint isn't under a lot of pressure, it will hold.

yup bingo, c-clamp will be way to small! slap a LOT of wood glue in there and clamp it together, then take a wet cotton rag and wipe all excess glue off the wood, let it sit for several hours and voila! good as new :)

That's one hell of a first post.

From where the crack is you could probably use a ratchet tie down if you don't have a bar clamp available. Just make sure to put a cloth between the ratchet and the wood.

Should fix ASAP in case (no pun intended) the wood warps on you over time. I doubt it wood, but hey, you never know. BTW, purple heart and other exotic wood at Windsor Plywood. I should make some custom cases and make money on the side.

I'm in Richmond have glue have clamp can help. I drink coffee large double double hint hint.
You would need to leave it over night to dry.
