I'm afraid to use elmers, for i think it may rot the inside of the wood, and warp the truss rod. Any ideas on what glue i should use?

So far it's worked just fine. That has been with bodies though, but I don't see any problem using it with the neck. It shouldn't rot the wood or warp the truss rod. Just wipe off the excess with a damp cloth and you'll be fine. Freaky Fender 10-01-2002, 06:24 AM can i find this at any hobby store? or is it special order? FBB Custom 10-01-2002, 10:36 AM Go to a hardware store and look for Titebond. You could also use epoxy or CA glue. Those are harder to find and a little more difficult to work with. CA glue has the benefit of being better at filling gaps. It's what I use for lined fretlesses now.

I believe Krazy Glue is a kind of CA glue. Is that correct? I only recomemended Krazy Glue because I thought it was CA glue. Peace Nick LM Bass 10-01-2002, 11:07 PM Crazy Glue is overpriced CA glue. Plus, you can usually only get two or three uses from the bottle before it dries up on you. Look for "Hot Stuff" at your local hardware store. I get it at Lee Valley Tools. There are a few different types: I use one that wicks in quickly and dries fast, and a gap filling one. I use the gap filling one for putting in frets. For lined fretless I use the one that wicks better into the slots, then I put in styrene strips. FBB Custom 10-01-2002, 11:45 PM I use Hot Stuff yellow label for fret lines and fret ends. It's the best CA that I've used. AllParts also sells it. |
