Snork Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 check out the refretting tutorialon project guitar.com you probably need to reset the fret. Might as well put in a new one.post some pics too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 You dont need to put a new fret in. A photo would help in diagnosing the problem and coming up with a solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 yea, stick a photo here, itll help. also the fret will probably only need reseated and glued... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renablistic Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 wouldn't the easy way be to just put some glue in the slot, and pound the fret back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 it probably doesn't need to be Pounded just clamped while the glue sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 pounding bad...clamping good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 wouldn't the easy way be to just put some glue in the slot, and pound the fret back in? *grunt grunt grunt* in true Tim Taylor style, why not use the binford 6100 neumatic power hammer!!!!!!!!!!! seriously though, setup your clamp and test to make sure you can tigten it in a couple of seconds, get some 30 second water viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive (local hobby store, or online) if you can get a syringe with 27 gauge medical needle that might be best a pipet would also to the job, or lastly the tip of the bottle but that doesn't offer you as much control. get the glue in the side, of the fret slot, maybe under the crown aswell, then clamp it down for a couple of mins. well that's just how i'd do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elton Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 oooo i like lol when i read that adhesive i was like WHOAAAA hahaha but that will be done. but after i glue it back in and it drys. i would have to sand the neck a little to get the glue that seeped out right?

renablistic Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I didn't mean pound, more of a "tap" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I didn't mean pound, more of a "tap" the thing is,if it popped up,merely tapping it back in would be unlikely to work,imo...you are better off clamping it and leaving it clamped while the glue dries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 but after i glue it back in and it drys. i would have to sand the neck a little to get the glue that seeped out right? You can always lay down a strip of clear scotch tape on both sides and peal it up afterwards as a mini cheat, You might have to trim along the side if you have a ton of extra glue seeping out.
