Oh, I just read that...sounds like i meant to put double-stick under the bolt...Nope...Super Glued the bolt to the acrylic, and I thought you might want to put clear double stick between the acrylic plate and the box top so the whole bridge doesn't slide with a heavy player's hand...But i swear the BOLT wouldnt' come loose from the plastic unless wailed on mercilessly for years, and then I suppose you could just re-glue it for years more use...
I flatted one side of the bolt with a grinder so it sits flat...and used super glue...BAM!
man, I had no idea super glue was THAT super...I once tried to get a bolt off some bare wood when i put it in the wrong place...Within literally 3 seconds I had to use a sharp chisel and 16 ounce hammer HIT THREE TIMES HARD to get the bolt loose...so I figured it'll hold for this wall-hanging art piece...I actually played it a few days for a bit before sending it -- I swear this would hold for real playing use...you'd just have to probably put a tab or two of double stick-Scotch tape under it once you found the intonation -- as you can imagine there's no friction to keep the plate from sliding on the top if you play with a heavy stroke... I also have colored acrylic chunks I'll likely use on 'fururistic' builds if it calls for it.--- Though I've a religious reverence of wood and steel. Unk Unk.
