Galaga_Mike Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Here was a quick repair job that only took a few hours but it might help someone in the future. I bought this new Epiphone Les Paul with a broken neck on ebay. Price was right and the break looked really repairable. Before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaga_Mike Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Taped everything off with blue tape, glued with Titebond and clamped for a couple of days. There were some gaps so I filled those with epoxy mixed with toner. Here's a shot after sanding the epoxy parts flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaga_Mike Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 The glue joint feels really strong. This was a fortunate break since there was a lot of surface area. I spray painted black on the sanded area, applied about 6 layers of spray lacquer, then wet sanded and polished. You can see the differences in the blacks in the right lighting, but overall I'm really happy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
