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.

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 Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Download Messenger. Join the im Initiative.
