strummer2k Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 1) I have finished binding the front of the body I am building and am about to rout the back and put binding on that as well. However, there is gonna be a seam where the two ends of the binding meet, how do I avoid that? 2) I see it mentioned that people scrape any glue drippings off after the binding has had a chance to set. Couldn't you just use sandpaper to get rid of the glue as well as kinda leveling ( just a tiny bit) the binding with the wood? Thanks. (EDIT) I finally found a post that mentions using Acetone to melt some binding to patch up the gaps. Can anyone elaborate on this and can you get Acetone at Home Depot?

rhoads56 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 acetone is simular to paint thinners. Scrape some scrap binding, put the scrapings with a small amount of acetone/thinners, and wait. mix occassionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
