I Picked up a piece of solid maple for the octave mandolin build. It has some quilting so I am going to reinforce it with 2 CF bars. One on each side of the truss rod. I have 3 questions.
1. Should the bars extend into the dovetail?
2. Should they be kept on the surface against the fret board or recessed and a strip placed on top?
3. What glue is best for intalling them. I have seen epoxy, CA and fish glue all used on various you tube videos.
