Mickguard Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I picked up a glue press today....it's got a little lever that you flip to tighten it down (instead of a handle you turn like on a regular vise). I'm hoping it'll give the right kind of pressure ...since I'm only gluing fairly small pieces to a larger piece, I think I can get away with one, and maybe attach a regular press to even things out. Anything I should know about this kind of press before I use it? I'll be gluing small pieces to fill out the side of a guitar body --I'm thinking I can clamp the guitar straight up in my worktable, so I'll be able to get to both sides for wiping away the glue. Or should I do this with the body lying flat on the table? Thanks! Mickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeR Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hi, Not to be a smartar*se or anything, but I don't know either. That said, could you please post your results? Thanks man, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hi, You can see the clamp in one of the photos I linked to in my Bocaster thread (in the project section).... wait, I'll hunt up the link... http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1121506 photo number 2 shows the clamp....my 'helpers' didn't trust the glue clamp (they'd never seen it before, so they went with the heavy duty clamp for the larger pieces...the glue clamp is holding down a smaller piece (that's when they said, hey, this works pretty well...) Lying the guitar on its back (on a piece of scrap board) made more sense in the end, helps line up the pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
