Epoxy can't actually be used for EVERYTHING.

If this were a “punching up” situation, say. wealthy white folk doing something foolish to get their kicks on their mega yacht, I’d be willing to consider the humour. Or even if this article highlighted some mistake we’ve all made, it would be a chance to laugh at ourselves. But “punching down” isn’t funny. There’s no humour in people, likely driven to addiction by trauma few of us ever need to face, making a distastrously misguided decision when trying to be responsible in an effort to experience some human connection. That’s just tragic.

What race are they? I just read the thread and figured out what was done...and as Forest Gump might say, "stupid is, as stupid does".

Not used for joinery on guitars, as it is a bond that a steam needle can’t break.

As grain filler, there are a few guys I know of who use it in acoustic builds.

As a prophylactic?
Maybe Hyde glue, as a heat gun will break the bond, if you can handle a bit of discomfort.
