Cheers Chris I you can work it out completely you can clean up the bottom and use some Gel superglue or 5 minute epoxy to glue it back in. If it won't completely come out without breaking use a razor blade to flow very thin super glue into the edge of the inlay route (Lift the inlay as much as you can and drip the super glue on the side of the razor so it runs in). It should "Bleed in" and allow it to stick. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 . Just in case - a reminder - Avoid using cleaners that contain solvents on your fretboard. Even lemon oil (yep, natural solvent present). The solvents can soften the inlay glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
