| Broke mine today. New handle directions say to put wood glue in handle hole then rake. Wood glue seems a poor choice to me. Any thoughts? Thanks |

| Water resistant Wood Glue will keep the handle ‘working end’ sealed inside the rake support collar. Not so much to hold, to keep down rot. |

I use two part epoxy and let it set up well before using. If it’s a wood handle I put the metal wedges in after it dries. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |
