 | Minor Repair Question Quick question to the board.... I was playing my Bb Silverflair today when all of a sudden the 3rd valve mother of pearl inlay comes off the top of the 3rd valve. No biggie I was able to continue on but it was a bit ackward. Here's the question.... I'm cheap and would like to avoid taking it to my horn guy; I'm sure the repair would not be costly but I'm in a pinch and have to really watch every dime. Anyone know; Can I just use a adhesive like crazy glue and set it back into the button? Thanks in advance! John

 | John, You might try an epoxy like J.B.Weld. Gorilla Glue is a good product also. -cw-

   | John- I can tell you what did NOT work for me: Crazy glue, hot glue, contact cement. Hot glue worked for a while, but it popped out again. (My piccolo "pearl" came out; still haven't found a sloution yet). Haven't tried Gorilla glue. That might work.

| I agree: Contact Cement. Never use a permanent glue like epoxy. It makes a real future repair much more difficult. Also good is the hot glue woodwind instruments use for gluing pads.

| I think Gorilla glue sets up fast and won't come off if you make a mistake. I used Elmer's and it never came off again. I have found that the quicker the glue sets up the shorter it lasts.(not counting Gorilla) Elmer's will take over night. |

| I'd use a little contact cement. Elmer's doesn't adhere well to non-porus surfaces and dissolves in water (if you wash your horn).
