How should I reattach the original pickguard as shown in the picture?
This is the same Weymann that is getting a replacement stave in another post.
The top had a crack down the middle under the pickguard
The crack had split the pickguard into two pieces and the guard was curling at the crack
The top had also separated slightly from the soundhole brace.
I decided to remove the pickguard with hairdyer and spatula
Then was able to properly glue the brace and add a splint to the crack.
I need to flatten the guard. Would a clothes iron on low or medium protected by cloth work? or other way?
I need to glue the guard to the top. Should I use liquid hide on both surfaces? or something else?
(I think original was hide as the residue cleaned up with damp cloth.
How to clamp the guard while the glue dries? would weighting it down work? or tape? or other way?
