Gluing composite bridge on Martin

Post by Dave Gentner »

I'm looking for a recommendation as to what glue to use when regluing a bridge on a Martin 00CXAE Grand Concert. The bridge is composite and the top is Formica. I know Titebond won't work (tried it). I'm thinking I'll have to use epoxy.

I just talked to Martin. They use 3M Scotchweld PR 600. It's a plastic/rubber instant adhesive cyanoacrylate.

Do you have links on shops where I can buy this glue?
