Can anyone help identify what glue was used on this bridge repair? Looks like hot melt to me but it could also be silicone.... ;)

All that and they didn't even bother to glue the bridge pins in place. Amateurs...

Not sure if that is actually glue. Looks more like Ghost Buster's ectoplasm.

I can't identify the glue, but I'm truly humbled by the craftsmanship displayed in the photo.

I recognize the drywall screws, but what are those unslotted, black-headed things?

Epoxy??? I like the black screws that match the pickguard. Thanks for the tutorial on bridge repairs. I never would have thought of screws, bolts and epoxy.i would have kept that repair as a luthiers secret.

My eyes hurt!

In all my years I've never seen one that bad.

That makes that Martin cut away look pro.

It would have been easier to just nail it down.

I'd say that it's a little over exaggerated and done merely for the effect. However, looks like epoxy. Drywall screws, carriage bolts, epoxy, wonder which came first.

Don't be so critical. I thought I had done a reasonable job. Everybody has to start somewhere.

Don't let them bug you. Once the glue wicks under the bridge just take out the screws and the repair will be virtually invisible.

The deck/drywall screw that split the bridge came first ... epoxy clearly last as it covers the whole piece of, um, art.
