[ddots-l] Re: OT: glue to use for resitting nut and tips for cleaning metal parts for electric guitar

Hmm, is there a good luthier/repair person in your area you could take it to? As for gluing the nut, just regular white glue should work fine. Make sure it's in exactly the right spot though. A little too far away from the first fret, and things will be sharp at that end of the neck. For too close to the first fret, things will be a little flat. Thousandths of an inch make a difference here!

Hi all. I'm doing some work on a vintage Zim-gar solid body electric which was my grandfathers and needs some major tlc!
I've taken the bridge and saddle etc off. They are dirty and oxidized. Any tips for cleaning them? I know you can use a diet coke bath and that helps. However, I've also found directions for making your own reverse oxidation bath with a nine volt battery, stripped wires, and salt water. The electric charge will be more effective according to some research I've been doing.
Also, I need to re glue the nut back on as it shifted half an inch off. What kind of glue should I use and how should I apply it? 

Any tips would be great.
After taking all the parts off that easily come off, I polished the whole guitar and I just cleaned the fretboard and have lemon oil soaking in right now. I think the neck is warped but I'm sort of doing this just to do it. 

Thanks,

Cameron.
