Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
Cheers Ophic- due to lack of clamps and confidence that I'll get it right, I think I'd rather hand it to someone else to do. At least if they get it wrong, I've got some comeback!

Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
I fixed mine this way after a very hard knock - this must have been about 10 years ago. It hasn't come apart yet and its had a few more knocks!

Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
not heard of using araldite before (I'll keep it mind for next time), I have done a few with white glue tho.
For touching up the finish, I've heard superglue does a good job on small dings and hairlines.

Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
white glue? is that the PVA stuff? its really not that strong. For normal gluing of wood i'd recommend a powdered resin glue, such as Cascamite. That stuff really doesn't come apart. But for getting glue deep into a crack, epoxy and a hairdryer is best method i've ever used.

Really good stuff and has been round for years. Super hard and easily finished too, not bad for a milk based glue  Theres now an EVA pased wood glue that expands just like "crazy foam" too that seems to be the joinery choice at the moment. Last edited by speedplay; 12-11-09 at 11:29 AM. |

Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
milk? so is "powdered resin" a posh way of saying "evaporated milk"?

Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
apparently its urea formaldehyde. I believe that's closer to wee than milk

Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
might be a cheap way of making it whiter, so it shows up less against light woods. Otherwise its a sort of yellowy colour when dry.
