So I literally just got my first dobro, a gibson hound dog deluxe which sounds pretty awesome to me for the money I spent. That aside I brought it home today and was wiping everything down after I finished playing for the day, as I was polishing the screens I noticed one of them was a bit loose and had a lot of play in it side to side... aside from that this the same one was all bent in as well so i figured since it was already loose why not pop it out and push the screen out again? Now i need to get it back in and was curious what i should use to secure it, it looks like the factory used some kind of epoxy but i cant quite tell. i know they dont serve much of a purpose other than cosmetics but i figure ill leave them in for now until i get used to the guitar. Any suggestions on what i should use to reattach it and how i should go about it?
thanks,
-Greg

Just so its not permanent (if you ever want to remove them again), I would suggest that you put tape around the edge of the inside rim of the sound screen. You may have to build up the thickness from what it sounds like to me, but usually one is enough if you use masking tape. After you have put the tape on be sure to trim it so that it doesnt show up so much. Of course there are other ways to do this and I am sure I know at least one or two others will chime in, this is a quick fix and it will be easy to remove later. Phil@masteresoguitars.com

Take masking tape and apply one revolution around the edge of the inside ring and trim the excess flush with the ring edge with a razor blade and do a try fit. If needed add another round of tape until it fit's snug. This will build the diameter of the ring. That's what I did.

I bought one of these as well.....I really like it...had a couple of US made ones a few years ago and like this new one every bit as much. Did need a far amount of set up though, but now it sounds great!
