Adhesive question
I think I know the answer to this already, but I'm asking anyway.
On TB there is an active thread discussing the repair of a chipped tailpiece. Here it is: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=535525 I was surprised to see repairmen discussing the use of epoxy with regard to this repair, but I became astonished when one of them referenced using epoxy to repair a neck! The repairman did not mention what kind of neck repair, but I'm assuming he's referring to a Kay-style heel break. I'm not a luthier, but I though that I knew what was in and what was out when it came to some repair techniques. Using epoxy for a neck repair seems out to me. Is epoxy a reasonable option for structural repairs? |

I think there is a place for epoxy in instrument repair. If the broken part is not something that needs to be disassembled in the future, and epoxy will make the repair strong (and save money), I think it's fine. This assumes we're talking about slow-cure epoxy, not the 5-minute kind, which never totally hardens.

Thanks for the reply, Arnold. I learn something new everyday.
Now I'm done for the day. |
