Frequently Asked Questions

Which adhesive should I use for instrument repair?

The correct adhesive depends on the instrument, materials, component and whether the bond may need to be adjusted or reversed later. Review the product instructions before selecting.

Are all instrument repair adhesives permanent?

No. Some products create strong permanent bonds, while others can be softened or removed for future repairs. Choose an adhesive appropriate for the application.

Can glues and adhesives be shipped internationally?


Chemical products cannot be shipped overseas and must travel by approved ground transportation. International customers may need to use an authorized freight forwarder.

About The Collection

Glues and Adhesives for Instrument Repair

Shop glues and specialty adhesives for musical instrument repair, pad installation and component attachment. Different repair applications require different bonding strengths, working times, curing methods and levels of reversibility.

Before selecting an adhesive, consider the materials being joined, amount of stress placed on the component and whether future removal or adjustment may be necessary. Shellac, contact cement, epoxy and other adhesives each behave differently at the repair bench.

Choose the Right Adhesive for the Application

Review the individual product instructions before use. Clean and prepare surfaces as directed, apply only the necessary amount and allow the adhesive to set or cure fully before placing the component under stress.

Chemical adhesives should be used with appropriate ventilation and protective equipment. Review the product label and Safety Data Sheet for handling, storage and disposal requirements.
