sbskates Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 i am refinishing a bass . long story but it now has 2 cracks torward the end on the underside. mainly about 1.5 inches long at most .one goes around the end on the side. they dont seem deep enough to pry open clamp and glue. so what i did was drilled holes on the ends of the cracks on the body. then glued in dowels. it seems to me thi swill stop the cracks from spreading further. the body is a two piece so both cracks are on one side. i also did what i could with putting some epoxy in the cracks, anyway thats what i did to repair it. what do you guys think???

sexybeast Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 That or implodes the universe in on itself, creating another, completely reconfigured universe on the other side. One full of strange creatures and exciting new forms of cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 toward the end on the underside.one goes on the end around the side Very unclear, can't envision your problem....need pictures to help you better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Not seeing a pic, sounds like you did an ok job. Depending on what is /was presented I was going to suggest a rout across the cracks, suck as one of those butterfly types to pull it together. But as Mickguard has stated, what's done is done... Try to give us a little warning if its about to explode so we have time to get into our bomb shelters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
