More bridge recapping questions

[Mike and Jane Spalding]

David,

I wouldn't use hide glue here, or anywhere that the function is to fill
voids where you will be drilling or machining later.  When the hot drill bit
gets into the hide glue you'll have a sticky mess.  Epoxy, thin enough to
wick into any cracks, with or without shoe pegs, seems to work best.
