Re: Cracked Epi Les Paul Headstock
Titebond is good stuff. Steel rods are def a sure way to make the repair bullet-proof, but Titebond will hold the break together by itself. If you glue 2 boards together with TB, once it's set, you can't pry it apart, if you take a hammer and chisel, it will not separate at the glue line. I'd go to the drugstore or some hobby shop and buy a disposable syringe...get a decent sized needle if it's the druggie type or the hobby shops have a plastic needle. Shove that tip in as far as it will go, and squeeze all the glue in, it needs to overflow. Any glue mess wipes off clean with a damp rag. Once you have flooded the break, clamp that down. Use scrap thin pieces of wood so the clamp won't mash yer headstock...unless ya use the plastic 'trigger' clamps. Before you start, remove stings, tuners if they will be in the way of clamping. Let it cure a few days. If ya know any woodworkers, they could help and prolly have some good clamps. It's a clean break and def fixable.
