Guitar binding question
Heres one for the guitar nuts of the forum and I know there are a few. I am about to bind a thinline style body [my first] and want to know what glue is best for the binding. Unfortunately, due to a communication failure with my router I need thick binding and will use two strips. black and cream. I like the idea of glueing the first down then the second after the first is nicely set. The return on the bottom bout is quite sharp, almost florentine so getting a double layer of preglued binding around it would be very tricky.
I wonder how many guitar makers are on the forum?? perhaps we could have our own subforum here??? There is so much yankee guff out there talking products we dont have here. It would be nice to have our own parochial Aussie group so we can find the stuff we need without getting it in from the states.ray c
dunno what's more fun, buyin' the tools or usin' em'

Ray,
I've just finished gluing binding and purfling onto a classical Im currently building. I use Titebond III on the binding on all my instruments. You could use epoxy I guess but you need to have as much curing time as possible so you've got time to fight with clamps, rope, bias binding or whatever else youre using to hold the binding in place while the glue sets.
I tend to use Titebond III AR glue on most of my guitars, I only use epoxy for joints I know will never have to be pulled apart...eg inlay work
I posted up some pics today on the Woodworking Photos section of this forum which shows the binding job on my classical.
