Do you have the back graft on yet?

IF you don't it might just pop apart for a reglue. If you do, super glue or Cyanoacrylate would do if you can pull some tape across the separated join, tightly. Good luck.

Hey Bruce, I PM'd you.

Ross, as Bruce said, wick in some HHG or med CA and tape it closed. You can run the tape overlaped on one edge right over to the other to apply the presure, or you could just put it in the go bar deck with the show face up in the 25' dish and put a few gobars on it to close up the crack.
