I don't know how bad it is.

You could try heating up the general area with a heat gun. That loosens up the glue and then try clamping the joins back together with a bit of pressure using straps/rubber bicycle tubes etc.

That is assuming that the strips were glued together with adiphatic PVA glue.

If things are looking fair with the gaps ... you could fill the gaps with a nice mix of dookie schmooze: Sanding dust and epoxy .. and we will never know :)

Good luck

Pete
