Default Advice on Securing Barrel Keel

The keel on this double is loose on all three sides (see pics). Also, it appears the rib may also be loose at the muzzle. The rest of the ribs appear intact for the full length of the barrels.

What is the best way to secure the keel? Is solder the best approach? Would Locktite 638 be suitable solution?

Thanks in advance to those who respond.

I would solder it.

I think I'd see if Breck was willing to fix it for me .

Dean, Craig, thanks for the response. Just re-read Breck's "What's in your Barrels?" article in the Winter 2021 Parker Pages. Very informative. I will try to consult with him.

Soldering it would be the only proper approach. Anything else would work, but that is about it.

Loctites are all just super glue and not heat resistant enough for that.
