Location: Zion, Illinois | That's what they used to fill the crack in my Ovation Custom Legend.
According to the book "GuitarPlayer Repair Guide" using medium grade superclue is a good way to fill cracks.
I'm not happy with the way the people who tried to fix the crack in my guitar ended up, I do believe with a little more effort, they could have done better.

Location: San Bernardino, California | I was just reading about glue. The brass nut on one of my breadwinners' came adrift. Anyway the Stewart-Macdonald catalog lists four different super glues (different viscosities).
If you are interested their web site is www.stewmac.com |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I have a Legend being repaired right now and "The Repair Guy" (that's what he calls himself) says sometimes he uses super glue and sometimes he uses lacquer, depends on the crack. I'm going to pick it up today so I'll ask him what the difference is in cracks. |

Location: Back in the Valley of the Sun Mesa Az. | O.K., as I posted earlier, I have recently found a crack in my 81 Legend'sfinish. This superglue deal.What do you do, fill the length of the crack with it, or just the end so it doesn't spread? How do you blend it in?

Location: ma. | don't know about where it goes but i know that it gets wet sanded and buffed out when it's done to blend in. i'd imagine you wanna tape off the area so you don't end up in a sticky situation. it's pretty cheap to have it done by a skilled superglue technician. that way if it don't come out right you can blame someone else. |
