Re: Determining Glue Under Bridge
The bridge was glued with aliphatic resin glue [Titebond].
What to do depends on whether you can push the bridge down so that the gap disappears. If not, the glue has probably gotten warm enough to creep, and you'll have to pull the bridge, clean and reglue. You can use hide glue at that point if you wish.
If you can completely close up the gap under the bridge I would work Titebond in with an artist's palette knife and clamp it.
