RE: Bridge/trem route repair

RE: Not only do I suck at routing, I suck at gluing too.

Rubbing the two surfaces together after the glue has been applied but before clamping helps to mate the surfaces together and prevent slipping after clamping. It’s known as a rubbed joint as opposed t...

RE: Not only do I suck at routing, I suck at gluing too.

I don't think I found the nail hole on the 10th fret when I lowered the fretboard onto the neck. I think you've hit the nail on the head there @cheesewhisk, if the pins are located then it just can't...

RE: Not only do I suck at routing, I suck at gluing too.

The fretboard is hanging over by 1-2mm on the bass side after about the 14th fret. I stressed about it for a couple of days but resolved to the fact I never play those frets anyway With you on that o...

RE: Not only do I suck at routing, I suck at gluing too.

Can't add much to what the guys above said re glue amount and clamping pressure but what works for me is leaving the fretboard slightly oversize when gluing (with centre lines on neck and board as a r...

RE: Not only do I suck at routing, I suck at gluing too.

That means you used too much glue @cheesewhisk and that’s possibly why your fretboard got off center, it was too slippery. It's not my usual behaviour, but I'd have to agree with @mattbeels just thi...

RE: Not only do I suck at routing, I suck at gluing too.

Squeeze out for days. Or maybe you clamped the living shit out of it? If so then don’t do that either as you’ll squeeze out too much glue causing a starved joint. Not good.

Also even though I checked, double checked, screwed holes and hammered nails, I still managed to glue it slightly offset. Another learning experience @cheesewhisk. 😁 🙏🎶...

It should be okay with cork @cheesewhisk. Did you have too much squeeze out? 🤔 At least you manage to fix it. 👍 🙂🎸🎶🙏
