Thank you. I just purchased a junior guitar kit and the neck is not fitting the pocket properly and it leans back more than 14 degrees which I need to fix as well. I am not talking about the head of the guitar and it's degrees but the neck really angles a lot backwards. So I need to raise it to be more flush with the body . You gave me some real good advice and ideas for fixing these problems I mentioned.
I think if the pocket shape had a tight fit to the neck heel shape, you might have gotten away with veneer as a far as the scale length. But as it is, it came out a bit too far because the neck didn't seat fully inside.
Either way works fine. If you are using heat melt glue, it's probably easier to apply the the heel. If using CA glue with a kicker, then in the pocket works too.

This is great I was thinking about using veneer for those purpose!

thank you, that is very helpful.
I use a lot of import bodies their neck pocket are cut for 57mm neck I have maple stock 1.5 mm I shim the neck pocket than sand to get a tight fit
Nothing about the end of that neck is speced to fit that neck socket on the body. They do not go together.

Why there and not in a pocket hole??

snarky jokes with laughter about one's wife are stupid and not needed. An iron that can be ruined would work and a clothes iron may not be that ...
