I almost have the GBD International 9676 ready to ship out to its new owner so I started on the 9676 Tapestry and got a nasty shock. Inside the mortise, where the draft hole starts, I can see a rather bad crack that goes from the draft hole down to the mortise wall. What do I need to do for a fix? Is there any way to actually fix it? This really sucks. I really want this pipe to be great as I have not seen another one.
Before you ask, I tried to get a pic and had no luck getting the lighting right.
Help! This really sucks for Dave.

Al, restored the same model pipe this past March. Perhaps he can give you some guidance. I have 3 International pipes but not that model. It's a pretty hefty pipe from what I recall so a crack is somewhat of a surprise. Shorty of inecting sper-glue I wouldn't know what to do to maintain the integrity of the pipe. Good luck.
