Broken wood on body...Fixable? - under the tremolo


A long time ago I was stretching my strings and tuned my RG a little to high. *The point where the tremolo attches to the body(right behind the bridge pickup) pulled out and took some wood with it.
I saved the remains and now I'm looking to maybe somehow put this guy back together. *Is there anything that can be done to make it solid again?

Broken wood on body...Fixable?


Yes you can use a high quality wood glue such as Titebond II but I would recommend a super strength wood epoxy such as PC Woody or Loctite for wood repair.

You will need to clamp any of the parts if at all posible and I recommend using wax paper between the clamp and wood for protection.

The Titebond will take 24 hours to set up completely.
The PC Woody will need about 3-4 hours to set up and the Loctite will set up in less time than that.

Just a note: I've been using the Loctite with great results but I need to warn you the intial hardening of the product takes place in under 4 minutes so work fast!
