wpstanton0 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 So here's what happend. I was instaling tuners on strat style warmoth neck and one of the screws broke off. My guess is that I didn't predrill the hole quite right. So here's my question. What should I use to fill the hole? Unfortunetly the hole isn't a perfictly clean cut because when I was trying to get the tip of the screw out it got a bit messy. Any ideas you guys might have would be great. Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bill ← hey, i actually only saw this today. during my Design tech incursion at school, where i was making my guitar all day in my schools ausome workshop... i saw some kids in year 7 making shelves. and they had drilled the holes too far, so they filled them with some kind of putty. now i don't know what it was, but it was very effective, it looked just like the wood, but without the grain. i also think that it dries just as hard. if somebody could clarify what this is, that would be great, because i would also like to know for future referance If you could alsso post a picture up, it would be helpful in knowing what the situation is....

haggardguy Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Couldn't you just use bondo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I'm not quite clear as to what the problem is. Did you drill in the wrong place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpstanton0 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 No, when I was putting the final screw in while installing tuners the screw broke. While I was trying to get the broken screw out it got a bit messy. I think I might just go with a sawdust/cynoacrilic mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I think I might just go with a sawdust/cynoacrilic mix. Thats about the only solution I know of, aside from laying some veneer over top of the whole face. I've had similar dilemmas when replacing tuners that have mounting screws in a different place. You can NEVER totally hide those old screw holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpstanton0 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I bet. Oh well, I guess it'll be a relic project now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
