I think you are likely correct Ron. I sure couldn't see anything that looked like glue remnants on the bridge or apron, but I figured there had to be some little bit. > If your old shop dog is still around, have her taste test it. Well, she's around, but she hasn't moved from the mantle in several years now (that's her on the right - Tiny - and her buddy Bo on the left). She still gets scared during thunderstorms and when the neighborhood morons blow off their fireworks every New Years and July 4th (hence the hearing protection). :-( Terry Farrell On Feb 6, 2013, at 6:55 PM, Ron Nossaman wrote: > On 2/6/2013 5:21 PM, Terry Farrell wrote: > >> And this puppy wasn't even screwed to the apron. > > Something had to be holding it together when it was strung. I've seen separated bridges that looked for all the world like they didn't have any glue in there, but on really close inspection, I could see a sort of sparkly crystalline residue. It looked to me like the glue was mixed too thin and pretty much squeezed out of the joint. Wetting the surface made it sticky, so there was something there even though it wasn't obvious to the point of being difficult to detect. If your old shop dog is still around, have her taste test it. > Ron N -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
