I went to bed with a 10, woke up with a 1.
That's a country song, I think - but my bridge looked good in the gluing clamp when I went to bed, but removing the clamp this morning revealed a tiny gap where one of the sharp corners of the bridge is supposed to mate to the top.
It is in just the position to be noticeable; structurally it is fine, I think.
What can I do to make it look as if it never happened?

Re: Tiny gap between bridge and top
Picture?
Moisture in the glue may have curled the bridge? I'd say take a tiny bit of epoxy and dust carefully fill the "tiny" gap -- if its on the front edge the joint likely will never fail? -- tail block edge maybe? Perhaps some warranty work down the road? I would not be too concerned, especially if its a Martin style belly bridge which has about 30% more gluing surface then many of the other standard bridge profiles.

Re: Tiny gap between bridge and top
It is very tiny - right front corner treble side. I think the epoxy/dust solution will be fine.
Thanks!
