thanks!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance mth5044 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-neck-help-please/#post-270925 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-neck-help-please/#post-270919 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 03:23:44 +0000 In the past, I have drilled the holes to a size that would accept a hardwood dowel, cut the dowel slightly longer than the depth of the hole, & glued in with Elmer's wood glue. Then cut/sand the remaining dowel flush. It will not pull out, rest assured.

If you opt for this repair, be careful not to get that wood glue on the finish, it will craze it. I repaired a strat this way once, & it never gave me a problem.
I feel epoxy is not going to "cut it" - it will be too soft. Fiberglass might work, though...
Good Luck! :)]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance katmetal https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-neck-help-please/#post-270919 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-neck-help-please/#post-28904 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 02:34:48 +0000
I'm assembling a guitar from parts off the internet and I'm at a part where the neck I have has holes drilled into it, but they are not at the correct places and they are too big. Can I fill this up with a wood epoxy? Or is there a better way?

Another, probably worse thing that has happened, was I drilled the first hole in the body's neck pocket and it went alright, then the next hole happened. The drill bit snapped when it was almost all the way through and got stuck in the wood. I managed to get it out with a plyers, but now the width of the holes is like two drill bits went down on it. I was considering filling up this hole also with epoxy then redrilling.

I guess the main question here is can epoxy stand drilling and can it hold screws? Or is there a better way to fix what I have wronged on this guitar? Thanks for your answers!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance mth5044 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-neck-help-please/#post-28904
