I crushed a leg off my fiberboard bedframe a few years ago when i was transporting the pieces for a move. Figured i had nothing to lose by just gluing and clamping. I probably kept the clamps on for 6 months, afraid if i took them off the bed would collapse. 6 years later it's still holding strong. Good luck. If the first attempt doesnt fix it then there are always more options to try again to add more stability!
