In my opinion, this cracked bridge could be much more easily and
effectively repaired by using a medium viscosity CA glue, such as
Dryburgh's or Alteco, or any of a host of other "industrial strength" CA
products.  Remove the strings from this section, or at least get them out
of the way, straighten up the bridge pins and dam up any cracks which
might allow glue to run onto the board.  Dribble glue into the cracks until
the wood around them is saturated and the glue begins to pool around
the pins. Hit the bridge with accelerator, and voila'; a permanent repair in
record time.  One caveat: make sure you get everything where you
want it BEFORE you set it with accelerator.  Once done, a CA repair
CANNOT be undone.
