very good point vanillabear. some glue in the crack before closing it, and then quickly clamping downward would do the trick. id probably add enough glue that it would ooze out a little bit just to be sure. as for B50 soaking in superglue, i saw awhile back a very renowned bowyer doing a build and he used B50 that was soaked in superglue, worked just fine. cant remember the bowyers anme now though or how i found the build to begin with. anyway if you are worried about the B50 being waxed just run it through a rag until some of the wax is worn off. it might be a bit tedious but if it makes you feel more confident by all means do it.lol for future reference too, ive seen rawhide patches used over frets and checks, pieces are cut to size, then soaked to be pliable, then applied with either hide glue or one of the TB series glues, it is sanded slightly after its dry to thin it, then coated in superglue with some light sanding in between.
