Re-Gluing bamboo strips

Had a little mishap yesterday and now have to re-glue about a foot of a strip of bamboo that popped on the butt section
Is there a glue that I can get locally that will work

I saw on a video a guy using Tight-bond III wood glue ??? Making complete bamboo rods

Titebond III works great.

TB III works well for these repairs. Many of the full time bamboo builders use resorcinol which is used to laminate structural wood beams. Pretty good stuff.

Another good choice which you should be able to find locally is Weldwood Plastic Resin Good. Resorcinol works well--it was used by Garrison among others, but it is very dark purple colored and ill likely give visible glue lines.
