    Default Best way to repair crack between celluloid binding and wood on a mandolin

    I was wondering what method and glue one would use to repair a fine crack between celluloid binding and the edge of the wood on the back of a F-5 scroll? The crack is wafer thin about 11/2" along right on the edge of the binding. What is the best glue for such a repair.

    Thanks

    Nic

    I use this on all plastic type binding. I buy it froma local perspex distributor so you can most likely get it local to yourself.

    Tip with this glue: less is less!

    Use just a bit more than you would if it was wood glue or you'll be re doing it. It's very runny and very sticky.
