Looks like you've done a good job to me but I'm no bat repairs expert so a few questions if you don't mind.
How did you go about this?
Have you done this before previously?
How long did it take you to do it?
Its ok i dont mind so i will answer ur questions, first of all i am not a expert bat repairer, i just do it using the basics rules of wood glue and clamps, i have repaired some bats, i try to learn from all the repairs topics in this forums, and all the pics of bat repairs i can find on the web.
Living in a non-cricket country like Panama, we have no choice that use our imagination and try to learn from pics and videos to repair our bats.
1. What i did first was to cut the scuff sheet just in the areas in wich the edges were damaged, i didnt removed the scuff totally because i didnt whant to sand all the face of the bat and deal with the glue residues of it. Then i opened the cracks with a small knife or flat screwdriver, watered some glue and filled up the cracks with it, then clamped them with strechy parcel tape, leave it overnight then removed the tape and sanded the affected areas.
2. Done before? well yes i have repaired some bats, but not a expert of it, almost all my repairs i have posted a topic with pics of it in this forum.
3. It took me around 5 to 7 hours in 2 days of work.
Hope i replyed all ur questions, if u have any other dont doubt to ask me again..
Cheers from Panama
