Hello,
For all the reapir gurus please kindly me how to fix this repair. I am more concerned about where the edge is more dented and willow is displaced.
Also wanted to know if PVC d3 glue is suitable to inject as d3 can be diluted with water so very easy to inject as compared to PVC is very tough to inject.
Please put your suggestions.
Thanks

pallet knife - pva glue - parcel tape - wait 24 hours - might have missed another one - re-do previous - sand - done.

 Thanks for reply.
Do you think PVA glue will fill the hollow dent and leave it enought solid that when ball hits would make proper solid sound.

Yes, so Long as you can get glue into every void and then clamp it will be solid. personally I would use a combination of palette knife (butter knife) and syringe to get glue to all parts. I would use parcel tape and clamps to hold it firmly together.
Good luck. Not a difficult fix. If there are large areas (doesn't appear to be here) you may want to do it in stages as the PVA begins to set quite quickly.

As said earlier.... not a tough job.....

Open cracks and glue them.... use parcel tape as clamps.... and sand....

good luck....

Or as an alternative to prising open the willow and glue a light hand sanding would work

I don't think think so in this case.

It looks as if a section of the edge has delaminated in a kind of chunk. I'd say you need to open it and pack the area with glue. If you just gave it a glue and light sand you'd seal the surface of the delaminated area, but you'd have a hollow area in the middle still.

It's all about attention to detail really...

If that's the case you can knock in the hollow part...

I don't think simply gluing the surface of a delaminated area then trying to knock it in further will solve anything. The delamination will still exist beneath the surface. That's much like a paper over the cracks approach.

If anything, it will result in more compression to the effected area, potentially extending the delamination further (or, in Lehman's terms, the hollow part getting bigger...)

It's worth giving it some real attention to detail now. Prevention is the best cure, but repairing something properly the first time prevents it becoming a bigger job later.

Sorry to distract from the earnest discussion of how best to glue up your holes, but what does the Australian team coach have to do with it?

He's big, 'ard & straight to the point (and struggles if you use anything longer than a monosyllabic word) so explains things in a simple way, exactly what I was trying to do!

Think it's best I stay out of this conversation 😳😂

Something to do with density?
