Cheers Ophic- due to lack of clamps and confidence that I'll get it right, I think I'd rather hand it to someone else to do. At least if they get it wrong, I've got some comeback!

I fixed mine this way after a very hard knock - this must have been about 10 years ago. It hasn't come apart yet and its had a few more knocks!

not heard of using araldite before (I'll keep it mind for next time), I have done a few with white glue tho.
For touching up the finish, I've heard superglue does a good job on small dings and hairlines.

white glue? is that the PVA stuff? its really not that strong. For normal gluing of wood i'd recommend a powdered resin glue, such as Cascamite. That stuff really doesn't come apart. But for getting glue deep into a crack, epoxy and a hairdryer is best method i've ever used.

I was gonna add cascamite but you beat me to it.

Really good stuff and has been round for years.
Super hard and easily finished too, not bad for a milk based glue

Theres now an EVA pased wood glue that expands just like "crazy foam" too that seems to be the joinery choice at the moment.

milk? so is "powdered resin" a posh way of saying "evaporated milk"?

I do believe so old chap

But then "scotch glue" was a nicer way to say "some old nag" too

But this tin is well old, was my dads before I had it away.

might be a cheap way of making it whiter, so it shows up less against light woods. Otherwise its a sort of yellowy colour when dry.
