Title: Cracked!!!
Post by: tushar sehgal on March 15, 2012, 02:37:58 AM

Hey guys,

just curious as how would you go about repairing this crack? is it as simple as superglueing it and then some tape on top? any help would be great. Crack is not on the back of the bat, might be on the toe as well but with those puma toe guards its hard to tell. Crack is really really thin but i know it will grow if i leave it as is but also dont know how to get the glue in there...

Oh no! Which bat is that Tushar?

First, you need to lift the toe guard and see how long the crack has extended to though.

Use a liquid glue such as superglue to get into the gap, most cracks like this will need to get worse before they get better. It might just stay as it is.

I would also tape it with edge tape.

yeah its the puma from opener, one of my team mates decided to take it out of my kit and use it to smash yorkers dhoni style, obviously not goot at it :(
I am not sure i can peel off the toe guard but will try to sand it off, super glue it is then..

thanks guys
