Is this bat done ?
« on: May 05, 2016, 10:36:17 PM »

If not, how do I go about fixing it ? I cant imagine how Id get the crack open to get any glue in.

Put a flathead screwdriver into the crack and gently tap it in with a hammer, you'll get the crack to open up enough to get some glue in, clamp it in place and cross your fingers

The crack going round from the edge to the face complicates things: still repairable but not as straight forward as it would be if the crack went through the toe from front to back only

Thank You. Apologies for the stupid question, but put the screwdriver into which crack ? The face, the side or the toe ?

It can be repaired not one for priseing open with a screwdriver as doing so will give you a bigger gap to seal go with what skip suggested and then clamp for 24 hours  remove clamp and bind with bat repair tape.

I think it can be repaired.... glue, clamps, dowels and then tape or twine....

It may hold for a while.....

I'm trying to repair something similar.
From what I've seen it seems doable.
Whether it holds up or not is another question...

Done similar last week with my Aldred. It's split 3 times since purchase and maker doesn't want to know so I have no choice but to get good at glueing and clamping. I'm hoping I can get half a season more out of it as its not a year old🙄😡

sent him pics and video and he doesn't seem interested, bit disappointed in general as it was a grade 1 and also  got a lad that did some work exp with me a butterfly. To be honest im not that happy as I asked for both to be 2'9 or 210 max dead and both are 2'14 and a bit, its ok saying him saying they pick up lighter which I agree they do but no lighter than 2'11. Ill see how long it lasts but ill be at vitas in near future, ill never buy a bat again without picking it up first
