Just a tiny bit of the resin spread on the lower bridge where the string rests and then cured with included uv light did the trick for me. It is invisible but looks green under UV light. |

Do I really need an excuse to buy and try an ultra violet glue kit just for the fun of it, in the xmas sales...????? |

Given that buzzing can be caused by several things - wear on the saddle, wear at the nut, an unseated or worn fret, neck arching, etc. - I think I'd prefer a more manual and traditional solution. But if it was an emergency solution, in a pre-concert situation, say, then good luck to it. |

12 Dec 18 - 04:21 PM (#3965953) Subject: RE: New trick to fix buzzing string From: Donuel I experimented and found I could multiply the strength of light activated resin by mixing a bit of moisture activated superglue. Its about ten fold better in attachment and permanency. My cousin was first to market super glue 60 years ago in Boston so I am more than acquainted with adhesives. But with enough area of attachment resin is all you need raise soft acoustic strings that travel widely in the middle. The saddle/ bridge allows smaller adjustments than the nut imo. Stanron I couldn't find a new part |
