TheRev Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1340348468' post='1703029'] Thanks Sarah, I will try to do so. Now which pair of Mrs C's shoes shall I cut up? [/quote] Her Shoes? Are you mental? Use leather from one of her handbags, much better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bassman Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I didn't know it was too deep, I thought it might be too narrow for your thicker strings I wouldn't touch the fingerboard, stick with the card or leather if it works Black leather from your thong would be ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulKing Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's really easy to fill the notch in your nut, even to rebuild it and start from scratch. Use Milliput epoxy modelling clay, which dries like ebony, sands and carves like wood. You have to paint it black, but it works. I've filled bridge notches, extended bridge feet, altered bridge wings and rebuilt nuts all with Milliput, great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
