<p>If there is good surface area I use a regular two part epoxy to re-glue. I always let it cure overnight and then try to force it apart with my hands.

An added advantage of using the epoxy is that it can be tinted a bit and the squeeze out can be sanded back and buffed out.</p>

Anyway, I'm kind of asking this question for a general response on what kind of glue people out there use for already re-glued surfaces that cant be cleaned up 100%. Doesn't have to be a headstock re-glue example. I ordered an epoxy called Oak and teak epoxy from a co. called Smith epoxies. Anyone have…</p>
