How to I secure a brass nut to a neck? Superglue?

[Beedster]

What it says above really? Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Someone here used super glue, a little but not too much in case you need to replace in future.

I use Titebond hide glue, holds solid but still easy to remove if needed

Mine came off a year or so after I got it, put it back on with superglue (standard locite stuff) and it's still on 8 years later.

i super glued mine as well!

Has the neck/bass been unstrung? If so, once the nut/neck have sat under tension for a few days the glue might not be needed.

Titebond, just in case you need to take it off sometime - if you use superglue, taking it off might take some wood with it.

Gorilla glue? It sticks anything (including metal and stone!) so should do the job

Regular PVA or even glue gun stick. Advantage of these is that heat (via soldering iron) will allow removal at later date if needed. Roughen the underside of nut with coarse file or similar. I have used basses with the nut just held in by string tension and no problems - strange as it might seem.

Superglue is fine - just use a small drop. It is easy to unstick again with a light tap, and doesn't usually take any wood with it. Don't really stick it down with anything strong (epoxy) you just want it to stay put.

I use PVA. It doesn't need to be a super-strong bond, just has to hold the nut in position.

If its for a fretless Chris don't use superglue. I had a nut replaced by Jon Shuker on a Ray 5 fretless a few years back because if was having a fretboard level and skim. He had a helluva job removing the nut and he had to repair the board behind the nut as small pieces pulled away with the nut.

A small dab/spot of clear silicone sealant. Its rubbery when dry, and will prevent any damage to the wood beneath should you ever need to remove the nut
