Update on the Vega archtop. I finished the job yesterday with great results. After glueing the neck back on, I decided to dowel the neck heel and replace the heel cap. After some finish work and relic-ing, the repair is invisible. I used hide glue throughout the repair and nitro for the finish. I then used a can of compressed air upside down to "ice" the finish to check it. Here are some pics of the results. Thanks to all for your input.<br />

Yep, the screw to ask for is a Teck/Tech/Tec screw used for panel work - they come in all sorts of lengths and have extra clearance on the parallel shank and therefore less chance of splitting like a tapered wood screw and less drag in the pilot bore.....Take the heel cap off before you drill the long hole (you can get two tec screws into the heel if you really try)and countersink the screw into the bottom of the heel before replacing or making a new heel cap - voila - invisble. An no, white…

An no, white and yellow is not the same stuff and not meant to be under permanent structural load (which this break area qualifies as).

Hot hide glue is the stuff. Yellow or white glue is almost certain to fail in the heat of a car parked in the sun. If you'd like to reinforce the joint, consider a long screw through the heel cap.

I reglued some necks broken almost like this (the fingerboard was still attached). I glued it back with regular white glue, and had good results.
