rockpig Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 hide glue is the best option as anyone doing further repairs later on will expect hide glue on this kind of instrument. it works the same as other glue you just have to be aware that it works best when it and the pieces being glued are hot. the glue should be mixed up fresh and will need to be cooked at a gentle simmer for about half an hour before use. the break should be heated with a hair dryer before applying the glue. if the wood feels hot to touch this is good. the glue must be applyed and clamped before it gels this only takes about two minutes so do a dry run first and have all your clamps and cauls set out ready to go. heat the pieces to be joined apply thge glue clamp done.
