: Good point. I fogot to mention my plan was to varnish. (It must

The deck of my iceboat got shattered like that in a crash. I fitted the break back in place very carefully, epoxied it, etc. and revarnished it. It's barely noticeable. So it seems bad now but it's probably not going to be the disaster you thought it was. Try clamping the break beween some thick pieces of wood so that when you epoxy it you geta nice flat surface.
