Pixelherder Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'm planning to add binding to a routed channel on an unbinded Epiphone build and wanted to double check something. First off I was planning on using superglue. I've not heard great things about glues like BindAll (SM) and other adhesives more naturally associated with wood to wood contact, does this correlate with general experience? Secondly my plan was to use low-tac masking tape to hold the softened (heat gunned) binding in place while the adhesive set - logic tells me there's a risk the superglue might also act on sticking the tape to the guitar body and binding, are there any tips for avoiding this? I'm a newbie builder, so patience and advice welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADFinlayson Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 If you're planning to use plastic binding, use Acetone. If you're planning to use wood binding, wood glue is by far the best thing for glueing wood to wood, but prebend the binding first so your tape has far less work to do on holding the binding in place.
