Here is a cello where the crack that went into the ff hold did not line up very good. The easiest way to get the alignment perfect is to make a small mold and clamp the top to the mold and then clamp the crack together using a regular clamp. Let dry for one day and then remove the clamps and cleat the crack from the outside.
