tyvm for all you input.

i'll go and get some hide glue and try that.

thx again

I broke off a piece of my new sitka top.

After i'd shaped bothe the outside and insides, and the f-hole were cut and the x-brace glued.

the break is on the cut away side, form the outside point of the f-hole stright up. then from the lower f-hole straight down. the break is in 1 piece and very clean.

can i use CA glue, to glue the top back together, then glue the top on and continue as normal (well as normal as i can be).

or did i just make some expensive firewood....;o(

thx all
