The floating rod syndrome

FWIW, I keep the cut-offs of my rod/bars for just this reason. I put the natural up-bow of the rod in the middle (all steel bars have one  ), lay one of the cut-offs in the middle, then clamp it. Over the next couple of hours, the excess glue will force it's way to the top and set. Then, when you glue the fretboard it will be against something solid, not a floating steel monster. The excess glue in this case, forces the rod UP. Ask me how I learned this
