Let's not leave out the folks mis-using epoxy, hot glue guns, white glues, etc. I could write a book about goofy stuff like this in luthiery - and I don't mean just adhesives! |

Years ago, I popped the top off of a fiddle I was repairing. The soundpost came off with the top--superglued. Didn't even make contact with the back... Dave |

Brian, that looks about right to me. Of course, I would have used a bit more glue than that. I'm only comfortable when they will not come off. Steve |

I was scared it was either not coming off without shattering or was going to pull a big chunk of guitar with it. I carefully wicked in acetone at the fretboard for a few minutes to soften it up some. Had one a few weeks ago that the owner decided to try and glue some loose frets back in with superglue. Made a real mess of it and by the looks of it I'd say he glued his finger down with one of the frets. |

Forget glue, screws are the answer. |
