Did you ever make an airfix kit as a kid?? You can do an open seam mate! You just need to get your hands on this stuff. Oh, and a cooking thermometer is a good idea but not essential. 1 Quote

yomommaiscalling Posted Friday at 08:08 Posted Friday at 08:08 That's impressive! Looks like you got the top off pretty cleanly. How many times did you have to kick the cat out of it while the top was off? 2 Quote

A fair bit of splintering and delamination to fix if you look closely. But I glued it all back. Mixed advice between hide and wood glue for that job. I went the unpopular way and used wood glue, as I figure if the top is ever removed again you don't want that delamination to open up again. Permanent fix... 2 Quote
