How to best glue a Richlite Fretboard of a 000 Martin kit

[Zimmer64]

Hi,

My 000 Mahogany kit from Martin came with a Richlite fingerboard and bridge. What is the best way to glue those to the neck or the top respectively?

Is epoxy the way to go? I am not concerned having to remove the fretboard ever in the future. This is my first kit and I guess it won't be my last.

Thanks for sharing your experience and advise.

Kind regards and greetings from Switzerland

actually tite bond original will do fine

I did titebond with the FB and HHG for a richlite bridge on separate instruments; both still rock solid.

Tank you guys,

I felt a bit insecure. I read somewhere, that Richlite is a phenolic resin/cellulose composite and that phenolic resins are notoriously inert. I did not really fancy the fretboard coming off once I adjust the truss rod....

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

Kind regards

Michael

that is what Martin is using so you should be good to go

Just to let everyone know, I went with Titebond original as per John's advice.

Thanks for your help
