Felix says to just use Franklin Hyde Glue.  He says it'll work just as well 
but just takes longer to dry.

I can't attest to that comment, since I've only had experience with 
superglue in fixing holes.  But, that's what Felix says.  (Janet shrugs her 
shoulders).

When I put the superglue - sawdust layers in, I did not push in the saw dust 
at all.  I just sprinkled a pinch in, and then put a couple more drops of 
superglue in, then sprinkled some more sawdust in, and so on.

I put in about a pinch of sawdust at a time.

Felix says if you are working on an expensive guitar fretboard, to please 
just find a good luthier to fix the nicks and holes in the fretboard for 
you.

If you are just learning, it is best to learn on a guitar neck that you 
won't be devastated over if it gets messed up.

I screwed up one of Felix's guitar necks trying to fix a large chip right at 
the nut.  I tried using wood putty to repair the slot and then tried sanding 
it.  It felt okay but looked horrible.  The colors didn't match.  Felix 
chipped it, while pulling the nut out, then I tried to fix it.  Well, it 
wasn't fixable.  Not by me anyway!  But fortunately, it wasn't an expensive 
guitar neck.  We ended up giving that guitar neck to the luthier as a gift.  
If he can fix it, more power to him!

There are alot of... dare I say it... junky guitars out there, at swap 
meets, pawn shops, garage sales,  and so on... to practice working on!  That 
is what Felix does!  He's always perusing these places for cheap guitars he 
can fix up and resale.  And he does.  Most of them.  Every so often, the 
guitar serves as nothing more than a learning experience.  But that's okay, 
because it was a cheap guitar to begin with.



Peace,
Jan

             What I want to know is how do you work the sawdust into the 
crack without

super gluing your fingers to the whole thing.

Ah man, I better run out and get me some of that Rosewood and make

loads of saw dust. I'll clean my chop-saw out really well and then

just make up some dust that will end up in the bag. grin. Seriously

though, this is a really fine idea. I wonder if there's a nice neat

way to make sawdust in different sizes. Ay you laugh, but maybe a

sawdust -making machine. grin
