Music City Bridge - Cleatus - Crack Repair System by Music City Bridge

The Cleatus crack repair system allows you to perfectly install cleats using a special viewing film so you can see through the wood. When installing cleats, it’s essential for the wood grain of the cleat to be perpendicular to the grain of the instrument. The cleat should also cover as much of the crack as possible. Cleatus makes this painless.

How it works…

The Cleatus Kit contains precision wood cleats, viewing film, and a placement tool.

The cleats are designed to fit perfectly within the placement tool. This allows for consistent orientation and exact location.

The placement tool has a standoff height that keeps the cleat away from the instrument until you’re ready to place it. This keeps glue from being smudged on the inside of the instrument.

The placement tool creates an impression on the viewing film that moves with the device, once the impression is lined up with the crack, so is the cleat. Your cleat can be placed in the correct direction and location.
