Default RE: Experienced builders needed - Help with repairing crashed Decathlon

DO NOT USE EPOXY! Why? It's heavy. It takes a long time to cure. Unless you use really a slow-set (read 24 hours) type and thin it a little, you can't be sure of woodgrain penetration. You'll have a surface bond that will pull off under load. Use thin and thick CA. It will wick into every woodgrain within 1/2" in all directions from the spot you apply it. It's lighter and stronger than epoxy, too.
