I used little picture hanging nails I use these too.Also a few grains of salt can help minimizing the slipping, that, together with slowly increasing pressure on your clamps, while keep correcting ev...

Bats as well now? @boo I like to spread the love around

Great tip @robin. I'll use that one. 👍 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@jonhodgson Interesting using the nails to pin it, the technique I've seen is to drill a hole through the fret slot (I can't remember the size) and use a toothpick (with the end broken off, so it's b...

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...

In all honesty I think the amount of glue was fine and the clamping pressure was firm but not wood crushing @mattbeels, I don't know maybe you can tell from the squeeze out on that photo. I genuinely ...

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...

Sounds reasonable but in this instance I was following the course in number and type of clamps. I’ll bear it in mind next time. It seems to have worked out reasonably well for a first attempt but room...

so I can annoy bats with my solos. @jonhodgson Bats as well now? 😳 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆

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...

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...

I stressed about it for a couple of days but resolved to the fact I never play those frets anyway What an odd person. I feel slightly cheated if I have fewer than 24 frets, 21 frets on a modern guita...

Ah not too horrific, only glued the neck but the cork fell apart when I tried to wipe it away so I just left it on. There’s enough meat on the neck to remove it later Attachment : 8F0A7765-5925-4...

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.

@cheesewhisk It sounds like a sticky experience.

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