Re: Shattered tenon- repairable?

LeWhite,

What is the size of the chip? Does the chip go under the cork or it's just on the outside of the tenon shoulder. Chips on the (outside) tenon shoulder can be fixed and will be 100 percent undetectable (if done right). The problem is that 95% of technicians doesn't know how it's done or they choose wrong material or method to do the job. For me, repair that is 'damn close' is not good enough.

By the way grenadilla dust and grenadilla chips are two different things. It's like if you compare two different grades of sandpaper (100 grade with the ultra fine 2.000 grade).

Grenadilla dust and super glue is okay, but repair turns out glossy and is visible under different angles. I do not use regular super glue.

If the damage to the tenon is significant, (half of the tenon is missing) then and only then, other methods described by Gordon should be used.
