File it, sand it to a near fit, even if you think you went to far, then slather the business end with resorcinol glue. Work slowly, give the resorcinol five minutes to seep into the hardwood. Spread the resorcinol liberally inside the head of the mall. Likewise coat the wooden wedge(s). Start the head on the handle, slam the butt end down hard vertically on something like an anvil. The resorcinol is slippery and will help you seat the head. Tap the wooden wedge in smartly. If you have any gaps between the handle and the head, place the handle in a vice or stand it upright, and put a dollop of the remaining resorcinol right on top of the wedge and handle to work its way down. Throw the metal wedge in the trash(in my opinion). Let the mall set for a day, maybe two. Patience is a virtue. THEN see if you can bang that head loose. Resorcinol glue used to be more common, a hardware store item. It was then and is now somewhat pricey. Depending where you live, it might not be available anymore, since the advent of tube glues like liquid nails. Nonetheless, it"s on the Internet, RPM Industries Inc. is the parent company. Resorcinol is known as a marine glue. It is a two part mix, comes in two cans, one can has liquid, the other has powder. And, it is the red stuff that is between the plys in plywood. Good luck with your mall. Best Regards, CharlieNJ

It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
