Evening all

As I'm not able to play for a while I thought I'd try to give my bat a bit of a spring clean.

I noticed there were a couple of cracks down the inside edge.

Hopefully you can see what's going on from the pictures. My question is, do I leave it and hope for the best, or take the scuff sheet off and get some glue in there?

I think I would take the scuff sheet off and put some glue in it so it does not get any worse

Cam, where are you based again?
My bat needs a refurb can I drop it into you? Can you message me cost?

[WalkingWicket37]

Scuff sheet is off and there were two separate cracks.

I've cleaned the residue from the scuff sheet off and given it a sand.

Now it's over to eBay and Royal Mail to deliver some syringes and needles before I can progress with the repair.
It might be a blessing in disguise I can't play next weekend as I have no reason to dish the repair now.

what syringes/needles did you order? I got some but they were rubbish but equally i think i was just being a bit thick. What mix glue to water (if you mix it down at all) do you use?

Give me your address I will post you some. Don't mix water with the glue. The needles I use are about 50mm long and have a green end. The shorter, heroin addict ones are too narrow. Just make sure you don't leave the glue in either the needle or syringe.

Toe guard off, needle in, leave a few hours.
Sealed, solid, a light sand and scuffed

Also lookup dispensing needles on ebay.
