New Year's Eve Glue job

It's 46 degrees F at 9pm New Year's Eve!

Numbered and tagged the tuning machines before taking them  off to lighten the weight of the headstock and get more clamping room over the area of the lowest tuners closest to the neck nut area.

I bought a new bottle of Gorilla brand wood glue for $4 from the local hardware store. 

Laid out the various clamps and tried the fit of the headstock back to the neck without glue.  Glued twice, once for the first coat that got absorbed by the raw wood, and then added a 2nd coat of glue then started clamping. 

Used 3 clamps total and moved, squeezed, pushed and made the joint match back together with hardly any crack seam showing.  Used wax paper to prevent the clamp pads from being glued to the guitar.   

 

Found a quiet stable place for the guitar to rest and have the glue dry while clamped for next 48hours.  .

The weather was in the 30's at night and mid 50's during the day so the guitar was laid down in front of a heater vent in one of our old bed rooms
