Hi I was wondering what the best practice is for fixing a crack from a ukulele drying out. I know how to fix this on a guitar, but getting my hand inside the uke to cleat the crack is a little tough, seeing as I'm not a leprechaun. Will Rehumidifying it and squeezing titebond be sufficient?

Personally I'd be using HHG instead of Titebond.
