Abstract

A composition and methods for the manufacturing, repair, maintenance and improvement of the nut and saddle of a stringed musical instrument. The composition is a powder configured to be used in nut and saddle slots to create lubricated, durable, aesthetically pleasing, color matched repairs and adjustments. The composition includes multiple substances to achieve strength, color, and lubrication. According to one aspect, the power may have four main components, including a Bulking Agent, a Hardener, a Color, and a Lubricant.
