Sometimes bow slides are missing a little chunk of mother of perl. If it's a nece bow you just need to fit a new slide. For other bows a temporary fix is filling the missing piece. Usually I do that when Im rehairing a bow.

Here are the basic steps.

• Remove the slide
• Lay the slide on a flat level surface
• Put a little bit of CA glue on the missing area of the slide.
• Using sidewalk chalk scrape the various colors onto the wet glue
• Mix it up a little using the tip of your knife.
• Wrap it in celephane and clamp in a vice.
• After it's dry,, flatten out with a file
