Music City Bridge Nut Rescue™ Kit, Lubricated Nut Repair Powder - Cream

"A simple nut repair solution that will blend right in and leave you with a stable and lubricated nut slot." - Joe Glaser (Owner, Glaser Instruments) Nut Rescue is a unique blend of materials made to perfectly fill and lubricate a slot and look great. Developed for over 25 years in a pro repair shop, this excellent resource is now a product (per frequent request). Originality and efficiency are important to us all and sometimes it makes good sense to fill and recut an instrument nut - rather than replacing it. For this, Nut Rescue can be used and handled in the same way you use baking soda and/or bone dust to fill nuts but with the added benefit of great color match, durability, sound, and lubrication. Nut Rescue comes in a set of three shades to match most nuts: Black (Graphite, Ebony, Buffalo) Cream (Aged or Natural Bone, Ivory, Tusq) Bright (Modern Bleached Bone and Corian) Why it matters: When a guitar string is bent, string is borrowed from behind the nut and friction is a problem. Nut Rescue's low friction is critical for tuning and its long wearability allows many original nuts to be saved and give years of use. This spares a neck the wear and tear of replacement, saves time, and is a valuable repair. Instructions: Clean the slot with a file Score the slot with a razor Use the included applicator to fill the slot with Nut Rescue (tamp it down gently) Touch the slot with a bead of thin superglue (let the glue cure) File to preferred height Nut Rescue is protected by US Patent #: 11643614
