I am finishing a guitar I started six years ago. I did all the gluing up already.
It sat in storage and my apartment for the past six years.
Now, I decided to finish it up. Route some pot cavities and get it ready to finish.
I used a long neck tenon joint. The tenion joint goes almost to the bridge.
Everything was pefect. No cracks nor splits.
Well, the weather has become really dry, usually 20%-40%.
The tenon joint has a slipt at the lower glue joint.
Some of the other joints look like some are beggining to show signs of splits starting.
I am at the mercy of the outside environment, as that is the only place I can work on this.
Short of waiting for the more humid weather, what a good fix for these splits?
I used CA glue on the recent one that is the largest.
That area will be under the pickgurad anyways, so finish issues won't matter.
I am going to do a thorouhg sand tomorrow and stain it and then poly it ASAP.
I will not have the chance to assemble it with all the parts for a teast. I think it will be on target.
I should have proceded at a faster pace, but since it was unfinfish for six years, I thought there would be no more wood issues.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike
