So I heard a crack when clamping up my r/d glue-up #2. Took it apart and cleaned up the wet glue and discovered that one leg of the Z-splice gave way. The other two legs seem to be holding. Is there a way to save this board? Its already shorter than I wanted at 60". I suspect the glue line was a bit too thick.

Any suggestions?

Super Glue.  Fill it real good with thin super glue and let it set for a day or so.  Then give it a whirl.  It should hold.  You might also shape the handle after filling, and wrap with a strong thin string just like a serving on a bowstring or fishing rod guide. Then soak that with super glue.  It will definitely hold then.

50-80# test braided fishing line works good for wrapping the splice.
