boundsteelblues Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 After cutting the black limba board I want to use as a body back, I noticed a crack. It is all the way through on the end, but only visble on one side. There would be a 1/2 top on this board. Am I safe to fill it with CA and continue or consider this a loss? I am afriad it is unavoidable. It would defintienly be in one of the horns no matter how I laid out the design. The board had been laying flat under my bed for about 2 years now. The crack was in an end that had paint to seal it. The other end was waxed and is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 i would try to wick some glue (wood glue) and clamp the crack together, than after give it some CA for giggles, but youd wanna watch out for a tearout that takes the whole piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundsteelblues Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 It is such a hairline, I am not sure I could get any Wood glue in there. Very deep at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenspoke Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Clamp then apply a thin CA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 i personnally beleive if you can see it, you can get glue in it; waterd down, clamp and release the pressure and it'll flo; or try spokes idea, ut i dont find ca works well in those apps.
