Thread: Loose Neck Cavity

    Loose Neck Cavity

    Hi All,
    Would anyone be able to advise on a good way to deal with a loose neck cavity? Just over a millimetre gap.

    I can comfortably slot one card in without a problem and second one with little resistance.

    The heel? or end of the neck measures at 54.9 mm

    Check out Pab's EX build diary. He glues veneers in the joint to create more tension.

    Devon if you can find some 0.6mm thick veneer glue to each side of the pocket sides and sand back a bit if required
