I don't know why I removed the plastic fretboard from a Fluke. Maybe I had intended to replace it with a wooden one. After I put some graphics on it, I used hot glue to re-attach it. Although that worked pretty well, it wasn't firm enough, and it wasn't level enough. I removed it and used PC7 epoxy. I clamped it for a day, and it's fine now - playing as nicely as ever.

When I removed the clamps, I was able to scrape away the squeezed-out adhesive with a pocket knife.

So, if you ever have to re-attach a plastic fretboard to a Magic Fluke instrument, PC7 works very well.
