boundsteelblues Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 I have a board of spalted tiger maple I am using in a body. The spalt will be on the back of the guitar. Woodcraft offers CAs in a variety of viscosities - thin, medium, thick, gel. Is one better to use than the other? Can you just use the superglue from a Lowes to achieve same result?

Quarter Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 The thin stuff is what you want, it will wick in / soak in deeper into the grain than the others. You generally can not find the water thin CA at hardware stores, big box home centers, etc. Another good source for a full line of CA is hobby / model / craft stores.

Woodenspoke Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 You didnt say what you are doing?? You can thin epoxy with achohol then apply. Too much CA will gass you out so I suggest a safer product. This is assuming the wood is punky. If you are filing use only epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
