Kev Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I use Titebond hide glue, holds solid but still easy to remove if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesFlashG Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 i super glued mine as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Titebond, just in case you need to take it off sometime - if you use superglue, taking it off might take some wood with it. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Gorilla glue? It sticks anything (including metal and stone!) so should do the job http://uk.gorillaglue.com/eng/glues/glue-list/1/8/gorilla-glue.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) 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.

BassBod Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I use PVA. It doesn't need to be a super-strong bond, just has to hold the nut in position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
