Baking Powder and Super Glue
Hi Folks,
I did a search but can't find any mention of this trick so I thought I would post about something I came across when setting up guitars that could be useful in restoring Bakelite and other types of plastic knobs etc.
When filing the slots for strings on guitar nuts it can sometimes happen that the cut is overdone and as a result the string buzzes.
To get around this the slot is filled with baking powder and then runny super glue is dripped into the powder.
This makes a rock hard repair and the slot can be re-cut.
I used this technique today to build the sidewall back up on a tuning drive drum, see attached.
