I was wondering how others felt about superglue as a gap filler on this repair. I did a bridge repair a couple of months ago. The bridge had come unglued from the apron. I got glue into the bridge/apron joint, then countersunk a screw to hold it with the head about 1/16" below the surface of the bridge top. I had no epoxy on hand and not enough room for a dowel, so I filled the space above the screw head with superglue since some string would pass over the space and I wanted it to be hidden. I sanded it flat, graphited, burnished, and restrung. How do you think this use of superglue might work over time? Should I do it again? It was rock hard, I couldn't seem to chip it and it looked pretty good. Thanks.
