Glue, glue and more glue.

The first practice nets session in sunshine was delightful. However mid way through, I could see someone eye balling their bat as though there was some damage to be investigated. This is the same bat from the Flamboyance can have consequences post. You’ll be glad to hear that the repair I did originally has held up nicely…
Unfortunately the surrounding area has taken a significant beating. The apparent culprit was another bat breaking ball, but I suspect our old friend flamboyance has been at it again.
After cleaning off all the adhesive that was left by the anti-scuff and giving it a quick sand, we were left with this.
It was clearly not a moment to be stingy with the glue, so I went crazy…

Bound up tighter than a mummy, we shall see in the morning how this looks. I suppose it can’t look much worse.

Good Luck, quick question do you use any particular wood glue?
No particular brand or type. However don’t go for cheap glue, it’s cheap for a reason.
Didn’t try rubber bands?
I don’t have any. I prefer string, I can keep using it and I know how much pressure is being applied to the bat.
How did it turn out?
happend to my bat, next ball side flew off, bat was replaced by kookabura.
