It's pretty much what I said although it's hard to apply pressure for that long and PVA sets within a few hours depending on the type used. Best way is to cut up a spiral grip, cut in between the ribs and slide a couple up the bat over the area. This should give enough pressure,  if not then you can wedge something in between the bat and grip to add more pressure.

Would wrapping tightly with parcel tape not give enough pressure??
(I swear by the stuff when I do repairs!)

It's the same thing,  there are a few ways but I find grips are one of the best and everyone has a spare grip. I've also used string with wooden wedges but that was for a bat that was in really bad shape.

Get an old bottle, pour some pva glue in and then water down. Put the top back on give a good shake, once you're happy with the consistency drill a small hole in the top near the perimeter.  Now drip the glue on the affected area, the glue should soak through into and behind the grains.

Ryan,
When i pour the watered down pva on the grains will it soak through and go behind the grains? Or do u think i have to open the grain lightly with a knife and put the glue in the gap?

Also how many drops of waterd glue do u think is needed for the part shoen in picture? I just wanted to make sure i dont over do it...

Thnx bud

Doesn't matter which PVA you use, most PVA is manufactured by two main companies so the fevbond and gorilla glue may have been made at the same place. Just make sure it's in date.

Just water some down and pour on top, it'll soak into the wood and behind the grains.  Apply some, let it soak in and apply again then clamp. Leave a few hours and repeat.  Then once you are happy give it a sand with fine grit sandpaper.
