teacher replied: "it is kind of hard to explain but yes with items in your house. wilhold glue (Elmer's white glue) is what most cabinet and wood workers use for permanent laminations. then you need some scrap wood and wax paper. you will need to get the glue into the cracks separations and really work it all the way in to the core of the each and every cracks. a couple of ways to do this is to use a night crawler inflator to get a needle tip back into the cracks and dispense the glue or use tooth picks to jam it in for an hour pushing glue into holes and cracks over and over again and again. use the wax paper (wax to the board) and wrap it (so the glue when it squishes out goes against the wax and doesn't stick to everything else) then you take the wood blocks and using a large vice or large c- clamps or pipe clamps you push the laminations back into the shape they need to be to be original. if you need to shape a few of the blocks of wood you can wee that and you should have all the blocks and clamps ready before gluing begins. The glue will set-up overnight but won't cure for at least two days. you can file the ridges (caused by bubbling glue) down easy enough but if you get the glue all over the deck it could be a problem down the line and.... if you can use a wet rag to wipe up all glue spills as they are happening as you clamp the laminations back into one solid piece.."
