While fitting and gluing the dovetail neck joint on a soprano today I held the body firmly in one hand and pressed the neck firmly into place prior to clamping..When crunch!! something gave way??? I was holding the body too tight and my fingers pressed into the arched back and popped off a brace end :uhoh:..Now iv'e got to try and figure out how to fix it...I'm having a bad day :wallbash:

It's now fixed .. with the help of a length of thin plastic tube I managed to run some CA glue under the brace end in the lower bout ..... it was only a small area that had lifted.
