Gluing my bindings

[Paul C]

My bent purflings and bindings ready to go. I am thinking regular titebond on this glue up. What do you all think.

Titebond, Elmers, Duco all work well for wood purfs and bindings. The CA method is certainly the quickest but requires sealing the channels with lacquer.

The plus to Titebond is that it will swell the wood a tiny bit and fill in some small, small, gaps.
CA lets you snug the binding up tight, then glue. Having used CA on several guitars, I did the two most recent guitars with Titebond. I may go back to it exclusively. I like the results and it is not nearly as hard as I remember it being. The key, is having bindings that fit the box well. If you have a KMG kit, you should be fine using Titebond. I put the glue on a plate, and use a brush to apply it to every side of the binding and purfling that touches the box or each other. Get your tape strips ready before you start gluing. I put about 50 strips on the edge of the table and then start gluing.

Titebond it is then. Thanks for the tips. Let you know how it goes.
