The dark line on the right side of the brace is a pretty nasty crack that I caused by over tightening the vise I used to hold the guitar while fitting the neck..... Bummer!


After a quick trip to ACE hardware where I was able to find compression springs I was able to modify the pictured syringes into service to glue the brace back together.


Here you can see the process I am going to leave these in place for 24 hours.
