Post by: imogzyboy on January 05, 2018, 11:34:58 AM: I think because I bought it knowing there was a knot there it wouldn’t be covered I did purchase it from Matt at H4L

I could be keen to take it off your hands, I have a couple others with similar damage that I have attempted to repair so wouldn't mind giving this a go

Title: Re: Is this completely had it?
Post by: Gurujames on January 05, 2018, 03:13:13 PM: Polyeurathane glue. Gorilla glue is a well known example.
