From your experiences, what glues have you found to work best when attaching wood purfling strips to wood binding prior to bending the bindings?
I have used LMI white glue and Titebond Translucent in the past when attaching black fibre purfling to wood binding with pretty good success but on occasion I've had some de-lamination during the bending process at the tight bend of the waist. I'm hoping to eliminate this.
I will be attaching a .030" red and .022" black dyed wood purfling strips to curly maple. I figure I'll have to bend at around 250 to 280 degrees at a mininum.
What do you all suggest?
Thanks.

"Titebond lll" will give you a good chance for success

Thanks Ken, I do believe that is the one I'll try this time. Thanks for the input.

Just original Titebond is my way to go. Did not have any trouble with it

Would titebond 3 be ok for gluing bindings and purflings to guitar?. It is all I have at the moment

It would be fine for bindings and purflings.
