And all this time I've only been using two drops. Nonetheless, I still manage to glue my fingers together.

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...

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.

You'd have been proud. 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.

I was shocked - shocked I tell you - that the bondo and nails didn't hold it together under tension

I would have used pneumatic ring-shanked nails and Elmer's craft glue, myself. laughing6-hehe

Ah, not a bad idea, David.
Then again, one could always back out the screws.
Perhaps a steel nut (Titanium on deluxe models) which is then welded to the truss rod?

Sorry Brian...
