Jude Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm getting ready to apply some 3/32 veneer to the back of the peghead. It will need to curve to meet the volute. I'd planned on steaming it. Is Titebond 2 a good glue choice, or should I use epoxy? Is there a better method than steaming to bend it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Steam or heat should do the trick. 3/32 is pretty thick, what wood are you playing on using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jude Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I may sand it a little thinner, not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 For acoustic Rosewood sides some recommend .09" and some others as thin as .08 for tight cutaway areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
