I have a Recording King RP2-626 guitar that had a poorly glued bridge and was starting to lift. I took the bridge off but now I don't have a flat surface to re-glue.

1. It appears in building the guitar they initially scored the guitar top 1/16" smaller than the bridge on all sides.
2. They then chiseled from the center to the outside creating a shoulder around the edges of 1/32" - 3/64" deep and leaving an uneven center section.
3. The bridge was then glued on with just some globs of what looks like epoxy due to its thickness.

I am assuming they did this to make sure there was no glue squeeze out during the manufacturing process. Unfortunately I am left with an uneven surface to glue. Would cleaning everything up and using epoxy make sense?
