| Post subject: | removing/regluing fretboarda |
I had to remove the fret board off of my latest build as I wasn't happy with my glue lines, now it is seriously bowed forward. I don't imagine it's fine to glue it back with this bow to it, what say you? Is a fretboard scrap after removed? It's not fretted yet, so I presume that fretting would put the board itself into a back bow, or possibly put it back straight...? Anyone have experience with this they wouldn't mind sharing? thanks |

remove the fretboard & ditch & get a new one....or if anything start over with new neck all together.......trust me we have all made firewood from time to time...its all part of the plan! |

Mark I would be more concerned with why the glues were bad and what you would do to correct that issue. I really don't see a problem with re-using the FB if you can get a good glue joint. |

I had used gorilla glue when I originally glued it up. the glue line was too noticeable, so I bought tite-bond. hopefully it makes a difference. It's a neck through guitar and all mahogany, so I REALLY hope i don't need to scrap the neck too, lol. It wasn't cheap by any means |

You are going to need to clean all the urethane glue off both surfaces really well if you expect the titebond to hold. I don't get why folks think they need epoxies, urethane or any exotic glue for a fretboard. |
