4nkam Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hey guys...What kind of glue do you suggest for attaching fretboards? Someone told me gorilla glue would work well, but as I recall, it foams and expands a bit...Thanks! MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Titebond. Or whatever yellow carpenters glue you want to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard_King Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I use titebond, or locktite wood glue myself, both seem to work rather well. I've also used probond, but you have to be careful which probound you buy, as some of them foam and expand pretty bad. Not sure which ones expanded and foamed, but if I remember I will post again and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryovanni Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Titebond is good, don't use the weatherproof stuff use regular. Weatherproof doen't work as well. Peace, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyguitarworks Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 titebond is about the best, although garilla glue does work good for some cases but i would not think this would be one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry_jeremy Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 What about gluing a set neck? Will regular old wood glue work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyldbil Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) I would not recommend Gorilla Glue for any connection you may want to undo later, like neck joint, fingerboard, etc. Now for building up multi-piece bodies or necks it's aces. Once it's glued, it's GLUED. I use it for headstock grafts. I have done some headstocks others said were irrepairable. They are still holding after (variously) 1-3 years of hard use. Using GG, you have to be DAMN sure the pieces of wood are exactly where you want them and clamped TIGHT so the expansion goes OUT and does not spread the wood back apart.
