I use a frence curve on mine, but I went the whole nine yards and bought the set for $8 
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

The glueline is the important part to try and fix BEFORE it becomes a problem. The fades also need work but i'd do that after the glueline.
Your best bet at this point is to heat some epoxy gently so it becomes runny. Then try and get it to flow into the gap you have. Flexing the bow with the handle held in a vice will help to suck it in. I would make a few blocks of wood up to fix the riser shape and then use those and a piece of leather or similar to protect the back and then clamp it up nice and tight. Inner tubes or clamps will work.

You can also use the bottom of a paint can to trace out your fades. Just play with it till it looks good.
