[Rhodes22-list] Delaminating tiller handle

[Ken Simolo]

I recently had the same problem and did as you were thinking with a
waterproof wood glue and it worked fine by clamping after applying the glue
(lots of clamps but not too much pressure and wiping off squeeze out).
Thinned epoxy might be better.

Hi All,   My tiller handle has some delamination to the point that you can
see light through a gap in the wood.  I want to glue it back together and
then revarnish it.  I'm wondering if anyone has any good techniques for
getting glue into the gap.  I was thinking of trying to thin some glue and
injecting in with a small needle, but it needs to be pretty thin to force
it through such a tiny lumen.  Anyone know of a better approach?  Any word
glue that can be made pretty thin?
Thanks,   Peter
