Removal of Pegs

Remember: Use ONLY poly-urethane glue to fix the threaded part of the peg into the peg box. Poly-urethane glue will not damage your instrument and can be safely removed if necessary.

'In the unlikely event that a peg needs to be removed:

  * Touch the tip of a soldering iron to the metal shank of the peg
    you wish to remove.
  * The heat will be conducted through the metal and soften the glue
  * You will then be able to unscrew the peg from the peg box.
  * Any residual glue will be able to be peeled away from the wood, or
    can be taken out with a reamer.
