Re: about gluing in a fret
Water thin CA will wick in there and hold it well. Put lots of auto paste wax on the fretboard on both sides of the fret and mask off the underside of the neck with low tack tape. The idea is, you want it in the slot and nowhere else. Water thin stuff has a tendency to go all over the place where you don’t want it. Don’t ask me how a know that! Once it wicks in then press down on it with a wooden dowel or something similar. Even though it’s supposed to cure in 30 seconds, keep holing it down for at least 2 minutes to make sure.
I have heard of some using thinned hot hide glue for this job too. But you should clamp longer if you use that. But not binding cement.the reason that’s a bad choice is that it isn’t thin enough to wick.
