Title: Toe Repair
Post by: Grubby on February 08, 2019, 03:47:45 PM

Any advice on what to do with this? I don’t have the tools to cut out and splice a piece in there.
Thanks

Your best bet for getting this repaired is sending it off to a professional who can graft a new piece in there.

Actually, this is CBF.... Your best option is to buy two new bats! :D

Due to the damage wouldn't spend money on it  as any repair inc  Grafting probably won't work You could make it into a size 6 bat

It’s already a kids bat which is going to be their net bat. The face has come up like new but I can’t make the wood grow in there 😀
I think I’ll just drop some glue in there to seal it.
Thanks

you could use epoxy resin to fill the sections and then shape/sand them into the natural shape of the bat, not great as it is very brittle but it would potentially do for a net bat

Where in the country are you? If you’re local I’ll splice in a piece for you for free

I’m in Swindon Wiltshire. I see you’re Taunton so even though close ish a bit too far for a quick trip.
Thanks for the offer though.

Mix some glue and sawdust and let it dry in place and then sand it to fit. Won’t be a strong fix but will make it look Baeyer if it’s just a kids play bat.

Tried something different. Superglue, sawdust, superglue, sawdust and repeat
