Re: Repaired crack.. now stuffy?

I use carbon fibre pins where I can't cut slots for carbon fibre bands, usually where there are too many pillars or toneholes in the way to make a clean cut.

Steel pins are also used - they're threaded and screwed into the joint at opposing angles just as the carbon pins are, but the ends of the metal pins need to be countersunk and hidden under filler whereas carbon fibre pins can be left flush with the joint surface as they blend in with the colour of granadilla much better.

Whenever I've used carbon pins, I've sanded them to lightly roughen up the surface of the rod (like a super fine screw thread) so the superglue will adhere to it better than if it was left smooth and shiny.

The only downside I had with this top joint is the filler had dipped when I polished it so it left the bands looking more obvious.
