<html> Well, Robin, that's fun. Maybe some epoxy and a little teensy spline of some kind? Better to take its measurements and make another? Might it be that rosewood is too oily for hide glue? I hadn't heard of that problem before. I wonder what material my old ones are made of? Nylon, perhaps?

What I did was to drill two 1/32 inch holes and wire it together. but as to see the wire has come undone. With the many glues available today I am sure it can be glued . Can someone verify that Rosewood cannot be glued with Hide glue?   If you look at a Papps wedge closely it would take some fine wood working  skills to duplicate one. Maybe one of our expert sound board makers could make a few. I agree the new blue wedges are a poor substitute for the wooden ones. With the new plastic wedges I always file the edges so the corners are round...easier on the fingers <img src="cid:5.0.0.25.2.20050702234404.02663b00@mail.peak.org.1" width=32 height=32 alt="b_wink.gif">   Regards Robin </blockquote></html>
