A friend of mine restores antiques & is good at clamping wood. He cut curved pieces out of ply wood, notched the straight back edge & used a piece of 1/4 round against the seat back to hold the wood in place after it had been glued. He did protect the seat back with another block of wood. The glue let go again but next time I'll try epoxy or something.

Set up was like this:
