Okay, glued a bridge on, using a damp paper towel to clean away the squeeze out...thought I had it all, but now I notice a thin film of glue along the back side of the bridge...not a glue line, but a "smear" running along the back edge of the bridge exactly, or almost exactly, the width of my index finger...how to go without removing my finish?

Larry If it's Titebond I agree with Hesh it should come off as it Shouldn't adhere to the finish very well. |

Sweet! Now, I should start another thread on this, but since I have you here...the file ordeal has left me with a slightly loose bridge pin that wants to pop up when the string's at pitch...I've always had pins fit too tight if anything...what's the normal fix here? |

Larry, Frank Ford has a procedure on his web site about fitting an end pin that's too tight. It should work on bridge pins also. |

WHOA! Just wick a little superglue into it (if you're careful, you can use a Q-tip) Put rag inside guitar BEOFRE applying superglue to Q-tip, rotate Q-tip between fingers to pack the fibers in. (Loose fibers cause the superglue to flash dry too quickly) Charge with superglue and wick it in. Woolson & I have had this work well for us. |

Dip the peg in superglue and let it dry. Add as many coats as needed. (never tried this but it sounds good to me) Ron |
