verhoevenc Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hey, I read the stewmac truss rod intructions and put in the truss rod with silicon at the two metal brackets at either end. However, I later went back and it says silicon bathtub SEALER to prevent rattle.... I used silicon household ADHESIVE.... Although, it doesn't touch the actual rod, so everything still turns freely... Will I have a problem??? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verhoevenc Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Don't plan to have to... cause I'm also glueing the fretboard on today.... so as long as it won't interfer with it's function, It's all good. I dunno, I didn't know if those brackets were supposed to be able to shift a little of not?? Chris Edit: Any second opinions, I wanna be more than 1 person sure before I glue this fretboard down over it....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 My 2 cents worth on the subject is that all synthetic plastics are glue. There are just some minor changes to them that make them better suited for outside, wet areas, or what not. Considering that two metal brackets of this 2 way rod aren't supposed to move anyway and that the rubber like silicon adhesive will give you the same desired affect of dampening any undesirable resonate generated buzz.

stiggz Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 i wouldnt worry about it, silicon adhesives and sealants are to a certain degree the same thing, well i used liquid nails to hold the rod in my bass, its not gonna come out any time soon luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
