Bridge Re-Glue/Glue Dripping down Pin Holes

[kaspforeva]

I am planning to re-glue the bridge on a guitar. I am wondering what to do about glue dripping down the bridge pin holes. Some advice I was given was to epoxy up the bridge pin holes and drill them out afterwards. I wonder if anyone has other advice on what to do about this?

What type of glue are you using to adhere the bridge?

Just glue the bridge on, I always clean the holes out afterwards with an appropriate reamer.

I will be using hot hide glue.

I've never had such a problem before and I must have done this job at least 200 times. You would have to gob on tons of glue to get it to drip through the holes. Like Steve said just ream it out when you are done. I suppose if you are worried about it you could always put a piece of cloth on the inside of the guitar as a drip rag,

Exactly. A cloth inside the instrument will catch drops of glue just fine.
