Subject:Pop Top Wood Frame Damage. PIC

Hi all.

Hope I'm not abusing my list privileges posting so much!

This is regarding an older staple style canvas.

This image shows damaged filler between the wood frame and fibre glass
top. And, tapping on the wood, it's a little loose:

Would removing all the filling material and wedging shaped wood and
construction adhesive into that spot suffice? Or am I possibly dealing
with a failing frame?

Maybe I could repair with fibre glass between wood and top?

Repair ideas and yay or nay on the frame damage would be appreciated.

Thanks

Neil.
