Was curious what adhesives everyone uses for gluing carbon fiber rods into their guitar necks (mahogany in this case). Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Kevin |

I'm no expert but I sould think epoxy or CA would do the trick. Maybe even polyurethane, although I'd be careful with the foaming. Cheers. |

I've used epoxy, found it fiddly and messy (only had 5 minute stuff), Mario turned me to Polyurethane, which works fine. Needs good clamping, but a CF rod's not particularly difficult to clamp, really. Cleans up well (acetone), and the foam that does stick around chisels off well. |

Ya, I use Gorilla Glue, it does foam out, but a little scraping takes care of that. |

Will that plastic binding glue from LMI work? |

I've always used Titebond. I use the LMI rods and their router bit and the fit is very snug indeed. I just spread some Titebond along the slot, push down the rods, cover with baking parchment and then clamp the whole thing down. Has worked fine for me. |

30 minute epoxy. There's not much to do other than apply the epoxy in the slot, insert the rod into the slot (it should be tight), put a waxed paper caul over the top and clamp for a few hours...unless, of course I'm missing something! |

I use golf club shafting epoxy on CF rods, truss rod and FB. It will release with a (hot) heat gun or clothes iron too. |
