Thank you for all the contributions, you have very good ideas.

Or: cut the next slot where it should be then remove wood between the slots with a router to the depth of the slots and patch the gap with a piece of ebony and epoxy and sand the patch to the shape of...

Thanks guys. This has been extremely helpful. I will be trying the epoxy. I might look at it tonight. I'll let ya's know how I make out. ps.... these forms are awesome. I really appreciate the advice...

Really looks amazing, the finishing is also nice ..Utilization of the lockdown

Looks perfect. It is always worth checking with the manufacturer though, that a product such as this can be used as a structural adhesive as it may have been primarily engineered with a different set ...

Posted by: @wolframmalukker Cut the fingerboard all the way through the misplaced slot, lay it on a sheet of wax paper, and glue the two halves together, then proceed as it were a single piece. I am...

Posted by: @mario Do you recommend me a way to "recycle" the first fretboard. When something similar happened to me I used the damaged fretboard to repair the mistakes I made in the next one! ǹ...

Posted by: @jonhodgson And this is the explorer acoustic (with a double necked acoustic flying V for extra fun). So not traditional X bracing then?!!

Sounds great...the video you posted is too good.

Hi @boo I seem to remember the original Araldite as being a fairly viscous creamy/yellow colour and this might suggest that it is/was an acrylic based product. They do loads of branded adhesives now s...

A straight longitudinal crack in a dark, stripy wood is going to be VERY difficult to spot afterwards if you follow the advice already given, and it will have very little, if any, effect on the overal...

Thanks for the feedback @darrenking and @rocknroller912. Darren.... I really.... really want to use it with the stripes in the middle. I'm very glad you mentioned about the epoxy. I really did have mo...

@bpower Good advice from @darrenking I would follow it

Hi @bpower, Firstly, you really want to have the stripes up the middle, it is so much prettier that way. Secondly, if you are going to have a go at fixing this I suggest that you used an adhesive that...

@marion I meant to set the veneer in loose but gluing would probably be better, leaving a small gap at the ends to fill with dust and glue. This can be made to look invisible with care. I would make ...

@rocknroller912 It seems a good idea. When you said : "put a piece of veneer between the two lengths when gluing which will simulate the 15th fret slot" Do you mean that I should glue a small piece o...

@mario Wlll the fretboard have edge binding. If so and you have spare material in the length then you could cut it through at the 15th fret and make the fretboard in two pieces discarding the mistake....

Hi @darrenking , In the case I buy a new fretboard. Do you recommend me a way to "recycle" the first fretboard. Can I use it for another purpose ?

@mario I like this piece of ebony, and would like to repair it, so I appreciate your comments, where can I find a suitable veener? Do you have any offcuts from your ebony that you can sand a pile o...

Hi @mario, If it were me, and I had only just started working on the fretboard, I think I would decide to start again. It will be almost impossible to repair this without it being visible and there is...
