Post subject:  Blargh--waist blowout during bend

I was bending a set of sapele sides and ended up with some cracking/blowout on the inside of the waist curve on one of my sides.

This one's for me, so I'm going to try to salvage the side if I can.

I was thinking I'd work some wood glue under the lifted bits and clamp it all back together in my mold.

Anyone have any good tips for fixing blowout? Has this -- or something else -- worked well for any of you in the past?

Thanks in advance,
-Kevin

What has worked for me in the past is to repeatedly bash the living sh*t out of the offending side until I had a good supply of toothpicks. The meds are helping.
