Thanks Sarah, I will try to do so. Now which pair of Mrs C's shoes shall I cut up?

Her Shoes? Are you mental? Use leather from one of her handbags, much better quality.

Good idea, really don't want to have to cut up my thong

The nut slot is too deep for the string so I assume you mean taking down the fingerboard slightly? Hmm, sounds like serious screw-up potential for a handyman numpty like me!!!!

[Mr Bassman]

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

I like your style

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.

[Mr Bassman]

Thanks for that Paul

looks like there's a [url="http://www.milliput.com/prod.htm"]black Milliput[/url] now

gonna get me some
