Re-attaching self-adhering Fishman parts
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2017 1:36 pm
I recently completed a custom commission guitar for a client. Long story short, I let him have it for a very large and important show on new years eve but told him I wanted it back to make some modifications. In the mean time he had the fishman infinity matrix system installed. The battery case had come detached. It didn't matter much since I needed to remove the whole system to do what I needed to do anyway. But now I'm wondering how I want to reinstall it. The adhering tape that comes with it is no good now. After a little research I've found out that it has a bit of a shelf life anyway; as in if it sits on the self too long the sticky goes bad. I don't want to to use just any double sided tape as I'm afraid it will be an eyesore through the side port. I don't want to super glue it as that could make it a little too permanent. I'm thinking of using the "masking tape/super glue trick." Any problems with this? am I overlooking a better way?
