Super glue is the only way to go. The mend is invisible and the joint is stronger than the original wood. The proper generic name of the glue is "cyanoacrylate." It must be fresh, not stored on a shelf for years. Do not buy it from a stationery store or drug store, as this "home repair" glue is very poor quality. Buy it from a hobby shop which caters to radio control aircraft modelers. It comes in three thicknesses and I have had great success with the medium. As previously mentioned, all oil must be removed from the joint. This is best done by spraying the joint with KR2 spot remover. Let it dry to a white powder. This draws the oil out of the wood, and all you have to do is brush off the powder residue. (Incidentally, this is a great fix for oily grips.) Lay the grip down on a piece of waxed paper and apply a tiny amount of glue to the joint with a toothpick. Press the pieces together for 2-3 minutes and you will have a good bond. wait a few hours before handling the grip, and the job is done.
