  1. clean the entire bat (other than wrapped part) with alcohol
  2. glue separated parts (checks, etc) with wood glue, clamp with plastic ties.
  3. light sanding
  4. clean with liberal use of alcohol
  5. seal with wood sealer or Danish oil - choose color carefully, practice on something before applying

Thanks for the tips. Like I said this is a first for me so this will be a great help.
