| charlie | Re: String Buzz "Krazy Glue" is a brand name for cyanoacrylate adhesive - this stuff is not really permanent nor should it be used as a "structural" adhesive - it is best left for temporarily tacking things in place while working on a permanent solution. Cyanoacrylates are hydrophyllic - they absorb moisture when dry and this weakens/destroys the bond. There are a number of "5-minute" epoxy formulations that are much better suited to permanent bonds and dry relatively quickly at room temperature. I know of a couple of guys who route their fret grooves just wideer than the bumps on the fretwire and epoxy pre-cut and dressed frets into the wood rather than hammering them in place. I agree with the other guys - check if the fret is popped out before you remove any metal. |
