That should be easy to glue and reclamp. As has been said here or AK, clean any crap out of the joint using maybe a sheet rock knife (sometimes the blunt back side works best), you can wedge up the joint with door shims to get better access. To glue that up, just squirt carpenters glue in there, using a squeegie (maybe a cake spatula) near where it is still bonded to force into the crack, and find some pipe clamps, and wood standoff blocks to cinch it back together. If you have to buy clamps, they sell 1/2" kits which just require one 10' long "black" pipe which you cut in half for two 5' clamps (you only need one end threaded. They should have them at a hardware super store like Menards. I wonder if the triangular glue blocks inside along that seam have also let go.

That might do the trick. If I can find a long enough clamp I might be able to get enough glue in there to hold it down.

I can't post a hyperlink which is where my pics are.

Let's see if this will work. Page 34 and 35 are where the four pics are

ok that didn't work, I'm still in the 3 day penalty box

Oh yeah, it's the top seam that is seperating

just add http: to teh above link

I can see your desire for a less intrusive fix, those are in good shape.

Thanks Pano!

Good advice, still the cheapest clamps to buy for the larger lengths and will do a good job.
