Re: Loose thumb rest

I'm only making criticisms against this use as it's not a long-term solution. No repairer in their right mind would ever use this method to fix a thumbrest back on, so it's best have the problem fixed and the thumbrest fitted back on properly than not at all.

If the thumbrest is only supported by one screw, sooner or later that one will loosen and you'll end up needing both screw holes bushed and the thumbrest refitted. If you've made a mess of glueing things on and that all needs cleaning up, then that will only add to the cost.

Best solution - get it fixed as soon as the problem arises and don't resort to temporary measures that may compromise things later on.

Would you drive your car around if one of the wheels was glued on instead of being bolted on?
