charlie	Re: String Buzz lots o stuff out there, and if you believe the print its all magic... the stuff falls apart at the seams, pun intended. Yet if it isn't exposed to the elements it can last quite a while, such as a small gap fill cure-accelerators can weaken the bond strength properties, never had course to use the cure-retarders good question on the refret issue, I'll see what the story is if I can get hold of the cat that used the epoxied-fret technique - never tried it myself, I'm more famous for pulling frets out of bass guitars than for sticking them in - the guy who I'm thinking of was a machinist turned luthier, had a heavy tooling influence in making instruments, approached even one-of-a-kind instruments like he was going into production with lots of neck jigs, etc. whatever works when it comes to repairs - building from scratch is much different - Mike T could try the Krazy Glue if he's sure he's got a loose fret, and if that does it then why worry about it - he probably doesn't need a whole lot of surface tension to keep a fret in place anyways

good question on the refret issue, I'll see what the story is if I can get hold of the cat that used the epoxied-fret technique - never tried it myself, I'm more famous for pulling frets out of bass guitars than for sticking them in - the guy who I'm thinking of was a machinist turned luthier, had a heavy tooling influence in making instruments, approached even one-of-a-kind instruments like he was going into production with lots of neck jigs, etc.
