Default Thickening a saddle (just a bit)

Hey folks,

I'm in partial nirvana with my new Colosi FWI saddle on my Taylor GC8. Unbelievable tone now, and far better than bone IMO.

However - I think I sanded just a bit too far on the saddle thickness (height and width are just fine), such that there is the slightest amount of play in the slot. I think there's a slight loss of volume compared to the bone and tusq - despite my strong preference for the FWI tone.

Any good ideas how to build it up just a bit? I've heard suggestions of using super glue to build up bridge pins for instance. Also, I assume building up the back side would be preferable?

JD
