bridge repair

Post by benvaneven »

Hi everybody,

A friend wants me to repair his Martin DCXE.
The bridge popped off.
The guitar is made of HPL laminate and the bridge should be glued on with
3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Plastic & Rubber Instant Adhesive PR1500.
This glue is hard to find. Any suggestions for an alternative?
Also I wonder if it would be wise to bold on the bridge after I glued it on because
it is the second time the bridge came off. Any advice is welcome :-)

It appears to be readily available on eBay.
