Pickup screw

[Dov65]

A bit downtime today so went about setting up a Schecter i got a wee while ago, everything fine till i adjusted pickup height when one machine screw pulled the thread insert out..its still quite tight pushing the insert back in, i'm thinking glue/super glue or whatevers best, i really don't know...thanks in advance for any info

If it's tight enough and holds, then that's the best option. If it does need adhesive, I would avoid superglue and go with a wood glue, such as tite bond.

Put a drop of water in the hole and if you have one and one tat will fit stick a warm but not up to temperature soldering iron tip in the hole. The water should boil, this will reinflate the crushed wood fibres. Do that a couple if times ot 3 or 4 if you don't have te soldering iron. Leave it to dry overnight, run a little medium or thin superglue over the hole sides and tap in the insert with a screw with some wax on it so it doesn't accidentally get glued in or the threads clogged. Should do the job as good as new or even better

[Christine]

Actually thinking about it more, when inserting the threaded insert, tap it in a couple of mm then run superglue around the base before driving it home and use a spare m3 screw not your actual one

Thanks very much folks 👍..didn't expect that to happen today, i'll get the glue and get it fixed tomorrow. By the way Christine the T cut worked a treat, couple of hours and job was done...thanks again & cheers
