davewhite , I notice that you're using a soundboard transducer- what adhesive do you recommend? I'm going to put one in my archtop and I'm still mulling over what to use to stick it in place.
I've been playing with Gorilla Gel CA and I'm not too impressed!
Cheers Gary

Gary - I've used superglue gel on all of these that I've done and they have all worked fine for me.

Thanks Dave- I'm going to use ZAP gel then; I've used Zap products for years without problems, so I'll ditch the Gorilla!

Gary - I just use the Loctite Gel superglue I find in Sainsbury when we shop. You need enough for a good joint but not too much as it can ooze out when you press the transducers down.
