Re: re-sticking a transducer
K and K provides a very aggressive double sided tape to mount their transducers. It normally works very well. Unlike Bart, I’ve never had good results with the blue putty. “Removable” is a matter of perspective I guess. I tried to use it in a harp and the darned stuff wouldn’t stay put. When I decided to go with the double sided tape instead I had a heck of a time getting all the blue residue out of the grain of the raw interior wood.
That double sided tape isn’t actually tape at all, really just a convenient way of applying contact adhesive. It’s actually removable by rubbing it with your finger. I know, I’ve done it to change position. But of course getting your finger into an F hole is a problem, while my harp is easily accessible. If the old adhesive is still in p,ace, you will have to figure out how to remove it before you remount, or make sure you mount in a slightly different place. You do t want to stick new adhesive onto old. It probably wouldn’t hold, and if it did it would be too thick.
I’m sure if you contacted K and K directly, they would send you more mounting tape. I bet they get that kind of request all the time.
