 Re: Chipped joint

I've had good luck taking the cork off, filing the cork recess slightly deeper, then wrapping black sewing thread around the joint about 100times, under where the cork goes, not more than 2 threads thick, then letting a couple drops of thin superglue saturate the thread. Recork. This makes a very strong, hidden repair, that most folks could do themselves.

If you want to do it 'really' strong use the new braided "spider wire" type fishing line. As stong as steel wire, but goes on like sewing thread!
