Hi Friends,

Question with a bit of background...

I have a beginning-to-get-oldish - not quite really old - but old enough Gibson in for some work.

Its pickguard has come away enough that it is best to remove and re-glue. Part of the pickguard is warped. It is a thin tortoise-shell non-laminated P/G about 1.2mm thick (estimate).

So, I need to unwarp and reglue... Probably a good idea also to clean the original glue (which looks like "all purpose" cement that shoe repair would use...

I have reglued before with Titebond with mixed success. I don't want to use solvents without knowing they are safe for the P/G. Don't want to use MUCH heat to straighten because I don't want to go "poof" into flames...

Any thoughts...??
