Ashbory Nut - What Glue

Sign in to disble this ad
Howdy.

The nut on my DeArmond Ashbory just unglued.

What do you suggest using to reinstall it?

Any Ashbory comments appreciated.

Tim

White or yellow (PVA or aliphatic resin) glues are the easiest to clean up. Super glue works fine, too. Make sure to clean the nut and the mating surfaces before gluing the nut.

Use some white wood glue (PVA). it sets very tough, but not too tough to make removing the nut in the future too hard (as with superglue). Trust me, I have had to refit a newly fitted nut before, it can happen to you!

Good point..

Thanks for catching the macho man in me.. I'd bolt and screw that puppy on it (crooked) so it would never fall off again.
