Fretboard adhesive

The fretboard on my Rittenberry is 'tenting' in the middle- what are we using in terms of adhesives for this?

It's generally contact cement

I use the same process as when I am regripping golf clubs.

Double sided tape moistened with naphtha or Zippo fluid or similar such as MEK.

The Naphtha allows you to slide the fretboard into place for about fifteen seconds before solid grab. You get a second chance.

Lane's contact cement is good too, but I like a second chance with a metal fretboard.

Chris, thanks for the tip. I didn't know the naptha trick.
