Brace Gluing Wedge

Makes a hard to reach job much easier!
We're excited to introduce a unique tool developed by Dan Erlewine: the Brace Gluing Wedge gently shims open the gap under a loose acoustic guitar brace and injects glue right where you need it.

Dan's ingenious one-handed solution replaces multiple tools, making an awkward, hard-to-reach job much easier. It’s the result of long experimentation: “I worked up a dozen almost-right inventions for this job before I finally hit on this solution,” says Dan.

"Dan! I just bought your new innovation! Of course my team and I can no longer continue to do these types of repairs without the Brace Gluing Wedge. It would be just silly without it."
—John Brown, Brown's Guitar Factory

Crafted of rugged machined brass and shaped to fit your hand, the Brace Gluing Wedge uses a replaceable plastic pipette as a glue reservoir. Simply squeeze the bulb to inject glue through a groove on the bottom of the wedge.

The tool works for most brace sizes, and for loose bridge plates, too. Photo-illustrated instructions are included.

3 pipettes are included (simply trim to length) and replacements are available.

Glue not included. Not for use with super glues.

Great tool! Well designed.

I ordered one of these not too soon after they came out. What a great tool for repairing braces that are loose. Great design, easy to use, and perfect for the jobs I have used it on so far. This one is a must, and I have tons of tools I've modified for these repairs. This replaces just about all of 'em. Thanks, StewMac.

Great tool!!!

NO MORE FEELER GUAGES slathered with glue! Finally a way to glue those hard to reach braces without making a mess. It is best to thicken up your glue a bit. It will be much more controllable, and won't run as much. LESS MESS!!! But if the glue is too thick it won't creep into the tight places it needs to. The key to a clean job is how you tape the spout. Make sure to do a dry run before using any glue. GREAT TOOL!!!

Beautifully thought-out tool

With this tool I was able to use hot hide glue to do repairs I never would have attempted before. If you've used HHG, you know that you don't have much time before it starts to gel. I've always had trouble delivering enough glue to the loose brace, spreading it and applying clamps in that short time. By pre-heating the brace to be re-glued with a repair blanket and warming this tool under a lamp, I had time to spare, and could reach some really awkward spots. This tool is simple and well-made, and makes previously improbable repairs possible, especially when used to apply hot hide glue.
