Mr. Preston Swift Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm about to glue on another fingerboard but i'm not sure which glue to use, i've used epoxy and it's a pain to work and isn't usually consistent0. Would Titebond or Elmers Wood Glue be suitable for fingerboard attachment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Yes, should be fine. I've only used Titebond for the purpose (and it's turned out just fine every time). Some prefer epoxy since it doesn't introduce any moisture, but I've had no trouble with Titebond. Edited April 20, 2008 by Rick500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Another happy Titebond user here...though I have seen the effect that is often talked about when using Titebond.....the neck wood swells ever so slightly and you get a tiny amount of bow from that. That's why folks will switch to epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wohzah Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Elmers white glue is fine. You don't need the yellow wood glue it just drys faster. And it is nice because you get about 15 minutes to set the wood perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattia Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Epoxy here. Mix it well, use something with a long open time so you're sure you mix it well, apply to both surfaces, clamp with a nice flat caul, and you should get great results.
