First, make sure the surface of the nut & the neck is clean & flush. You might have to knock, cut, scrape, file old glue, wood, etc. off of the surfaces.

Next, apply just a bit of glue to neck surfaces. There is a 90 degree angle in between the flat area of the neck under the nut & the top edge of the fretboard. You want a bit of glue on both surfaces, so run a bead along that inner corner where the 90 degree surfaces meet.

Gently, but firmly, place the nut in place on the glue. Make sure it is a flush fit. Wipe off excess glue. Let dry over night. Check for fit, then restring if all went well.

Best of success!
