I use superglue myself when I do new nuts. No probs.


Though I should warn you, gluing your own nuts is not advised...

i use one drop of super glue. its enough to hold but not so much to mess up your slot if you need to remove the nut at some point in the future

If you use super glue, be careful. I believe that the previous owner of my lp super glued a new nut in and spilled thus ruining the headstock finish. I'm not complaining though, I got it cheap and it sounds great.

I belive that Theodie uses chowder as nut glue. You may be able to get a shipment from him for free if you ask nicely!

A drop or two of superglue used here - seems to work nicely. Surprising how many new guitars have a loose nut when you take the strings off for the first time. Easy fix though.

I use 1/2 Elmer's and 1/2 water. Just enough to hold it. Easy to pop it out and clean up too. I figure that 99% of the time the nut is held down tight with string pressure. It's not really going to go anywhere. Just enough adhesive to keep it there.

I use Titebond hide glue for guitar work, including gluing nuts. Call me old-fashioned.
