Looks like it's gone on the previous glue line and maybe all the way through. If so that may help it to be removed for cleaning all the previous glue out. Otherwise the fresh stuff will never penetrate into the timber and become part of it.

I'm also thinking whether routing in new timbers and or titanium or stainless rods might be a solution to its woes.

If all else fails there is always bloody mindedness

I hope you can get it sorted without too much grief🤗

The gig was good in the end - mentioned at https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/7919-how-was-your-gig-last-night/?do=findComment&comment=4892544

My acoustic bass is now with the local luthier.

Bill for repair: 250 pounds + VAT.
My share of the takings from the last gig: 60 pounds.

Could have been worse, though.
