Using CA glue on broken mandolin neck

[Marek Keszek]

New to forum, Hello to everyone.

I'm trying to save a Kentucky neck. In one of the articles on repairing neck breaks Frank mentions using both thin and medium viscosity CA. Is the thin used as sort of a primer or is just to get the finer parts of the broken fibers together. I have plenty of surface for hide glue accept that I need to remove the fret board to repair the miserable truss rod they they use (two element affair only works on compression and mostly bends at the ends,with little if any effect on the neck) probably will replace it with a gibson style.

Thanks

 How about some pictures (plural). Most Forum members need the info that the pics give to give good feed back. And there are dozens of ways to break off a headstock so. 

 Good news is, it is probably fixable!

Maybe I'm wrong, but with broken necks and headstocks I use polyurethane glue. I'ts very very strong and it expands filling the gaps where the wood is poor. I's fast but repositionable untill you find the perfect alignement. Just clamp firmly for three hours, when dry take away the excess that bulges with the cisel, sand and finish. The wood will break everywhere but there!
