Buy it from a Model company that sells remote control airplane kits like Tower Hobbies http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...glue&search=Go . This is a Industrial Grade glue that is superior to the Hardware store glue. I know from personal experience.

If you want to do a simple and effective job and have no ebony dust use ordinary artist's charcoal. Fill the crack then wick in the glue with a toothpick. When dry sand it down. The crack will disappear.

Just finished the repair. Thanks for all the advice. The StewMac thin #10 glue did the trick. It wicked right into the very small crack. I was concerned the glue wouldn't be able to get into such a small crack...but no problem.

I also installed for the first time a bone saddle...looks and sounds great.

I would too. All the StewMac products are defined for wood products.
