Hello, what kind of adhesive would you use to secure an aluminum fretboard to mica. This is on a Sierra.
Thanks Chuck M |

I agree with Sonny.
That way it's easy to remove if you change your mind later on.  |

I agree with Sonny. When I restore old instruments I hate to see fretboards glued on. It's difficult to remove them without doing damage to the fretboard or the body of the instrument. Double-sided tape usually keeps the fretboard on yet can be removed without difficulty.
A lot of old instruments are nailed on with little pins, or held with tiny screws. The nails usually come out fairly easily, but you have to be careful not to mark the fretboard. The screws often rust in, so they break when you try to remove them. This creates a big problem when you come to put the fretboard back on, because you can't put new screws into the locations where broken screw bases are still there, yet you can't put the fretboard back in any other location.  |
