PU glue

[tony soprano]

Many years ago I glued a fingerboard using titebond. Checking the guitar an hour later i noticed the Fb had slid slightly. I used Nitromors to remove the Fb. it went very smoothly.

I don't know if this worked as it was only an hour set time, or whether this would work on a fully set board. What do you think?

Michael how many FB you have to remove ? let me try to gees, from yore 800 you have to replace maybe up to ten.

Slavko, I've had my fair share of problems with necks over the past 40 years or so. I'm not God, and I didn't invent wood, and humidity fluctuations. However, despite some guys who belittle 800 guitars worth of experience, I feel like this has enabled me to study and see what works and what doesn't..... I learn something new everyday, and sometimes mindless repetition has it's downside.

I've never once replaced a fingerboard on one of my guitars, that I can remember, and believe me I can't remember everything I've done over 40 years. I've had to re plane boards, refret, and in probably 3 or four cases plane down a board and glue a new one on top. In a few cases, during the building process I've screwed up the neck angle and had to remove a board, and simply make a new one and glue it back on.

But I'm not in the habit on removing fingerboards and glueing them back on.

I believe you.

could somebody write this with other words so I can understand (is it joke or mean something serious)

"stick with it " can mean: "continue using it" and "glue with it". A pun is a "play/game of words", in this case only relevant to woodworking.

thanks,

and just to add
for me future repair only mean refreating and bone work!

Hi Fric - sorry, it was just a little joke.
My serious meaning was that if epoxy is working well for you, then it's fine for you to keep using it.
