Review on Get 6 Packs Of Clear Gorilla Micro Precise Super Glue - 6 Grams Per Pack For Strong Bonds by Earl Ton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Applicator tip is kinda big, but it worked to secure guitar frets.

Some gremlins recently got a hold of my Schecter Omen Extreme 6 electric guitar and popped up a couple of fret wires. This caused notes played at said frets to get choked out. In a "Why the HECK did I do that!?" moment, I took a soft mallet and tried whacking the frets back down. Not only did it not work it popped up a few more frets.Learning on YouTube that you can superglue fret wires back down, I got this superglue because it's not a gel, and because of the "Precise" applicator tip. I've also used Gorilla Glue Gel on 3D printed parts with a high rate of success. Armed with this glue and slider bar clamps I got to work.The applicator tip was too big to let me cleanly shoot the glue UNDER the fret wires as desired. Eventually I was able to develop a technique that forced the glue under the fret wire; Just pump a lot of glue alongside the fret wire. This worked but meant I had to very quickly wipe glue off the top and sides of the fret wire before clamping it down.I don't have a precise (pun intended) measurement for the gap space I was working with, but a rule of thumb with frets on a guitar is you shouldn't be able to slip a piece of paper under any frets, and I was very easily able to do that with several frets. With this rule of thumb I estimate I was trying to force this glue into spaces about 0.006" to 0.015" wide, so even an extremely fine applicator tip couldn't have cleanly pushed the glue in there though I still wish the applicator tip for this bottle was a bit smaller in both inner and outer diameters.All said and done though, this glue did the job. Not only do I not have any more choked notes or string buzzing on my Schecter, but the play action is noticeably smoother, particularly when I do long slides up or down the neck. Should I use this bottle up and need more, I may research other brands to see if they offer a finer applicator tip, but if any doubt persists, I'll stick with Gorilla's brand.

Pros
  • Love, love, love! So easy to use and control. Very clear and simple instructions.
Cons
  • May require multiple applications for a strong bond
