Dropped my Dozier "Personal" and chipped a good size chunk out of the butt end of the Jigged Bone handle. I have the pieces and will try and glue it back together myself. Just curious which type of glue I should use. Maybe a 2 part epoxy or Super glue or ????????? I expected the slabs to be sandwiched together while "smothered" in glue, however, there only appeared to be a rather narrow "squiggly" line of glue running down the middle of the handle.

And what kind of solvents should I have handy to clean up the excess glue squeezed out of the repair?

Thanks.
 
If the break is clean, with a tight fitting joint, super glue is the preferred method.
Wipe off any excess glue immediately. Dried glue can be removed with acetone or nail polish remover but, I prefer to file/sand off the excess glue, and re-polish the bone.
