[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2342177, member: 68758"] A whole lotta overcomplicating in some of the above methinks... I don't believe dowels, biscuits, or any complicated shiznit is needed. It'll only make perfect alignment more difficult. Line up the parts, pre-drill with correct size bit for some skinny #6 long screws. West System epoxy, lightly heat both parts to warm them up and brush on epoxy. Apply more LIGHT heat- too hot and you'll kick-off the epoxy. A little heat reduces the viscosity of the epoxy and allows it to penetrate into the laminate (like Git-Rot for you boaters). After that, I'd mix another small batch of epoxy with some 406 colloidal silica to thicken it up/fill any gaps and add strength to the joint. Join the parts, lightly tighten the screws (you don't want it all to squeeze out- leave a thin layer for strength) and let it cure. The epoxy joint will be stronger than the wood. [/QUOTE]
