Violin Fingerboard Reglue

- Loose and completely unglued fingerboards can be a real obstacle for players, because let's face it, it's awfully hard to play without it! The good news is that this is an incredibly easy repair. All you need is a metal ruler, hide glue, and a couple C-clamps.

Thank you very much this is very helpful
Nice glue if you like to reglue the next month, I get your point though, I would not use that one to glue an acoustic guitar bridge that for sure😂
Oh... I don't know. Hide glue has been used on guitars for a long time. I will only use hide glue for bridges on acoustic guitars because I know at some point I'll want it off of there again and that's the power of Hide glue. When it's critical to hold as much tension as possible, upgrade to hot hide glue after heating the wood a bit.
Help! I used the tight bond but the nut was missing! I need to remove the fingerboard. HOW???
Your teachings are super easy to understand. How do I sign up for your repair classes? Thanks 🙏🏻
That's very nice of you to say. Check out www.repairmasterclass.com for all the course details and information.
Thank you sooooooo much sir🥰
You're welcome!
Hey thank you for the video, I dont really have any hide glue is it ok if i use regular glue? Maybe a glue stick? It sounds hilarious but it is quite hard to get hide glue here where i live
I think i have super glue also and that does not stay permanent and will probably be easy to take off the fingerboard(if needed) later on in the future. Is that ok?
I’m afraid this is one of those applications that you really need the right thing. The reason hide glue has been used for centuries is because it works exactly as needed, including the ability to get things apart when that becomes necessary. Typical wood glue is next to permanent. Don’t use it. White glue is almost as immovable so don’t use it. Super glues also fall short. Order some glue or take it to someone who does this for a living, they’ll have it and it’s not an expensive repair.
These kind of videos are the reason I sometimes have to spend twice the amount of time repairing something you either did, or told someone to do...
Awful
Glad for the feedback. When we meet, buy me a sandwich with all the extra time you were able to bill.
Can regular wood glue do the work?
It can do A job... but not THE job. Wood glue will hold it on there for all time and eternity. That seems okay but it's not. At some point, I promise you will want that fingerboard off the neck and only Hide glue will let it loose. Some try to argue with me saying the application of heat will loosen wood glue - and it does - but the temperature needed to penetrate ebony will also warp the maple neck cut this thin. Hide glue is what to use.
Thank you so much, that makes a lot of sense and this is very helpful. I'll use hide glue!@@repairmasterclass
Use real hot glue, not this Titebond crap. Takes too long to dry, and is not fitted for instrument making, at least not for stuff you want to be removable
I dropped my violin on a carpet 5 inches away from the ground but the finger board and nut came off 😭
Oh boy! Well, any amount of energy can make them go but I would typically expect more than that would be needed. Ouch.
Same here🤣
My fingerboard popped off too and that’s why I’m watching this video :)
I'm lucky enough at this point
