I am almost ready to glue on the bindings, white plastic bindings and herringbone purflings that came in the Martin Kit. One challenge is that I am overseas and unable to order binding and purfling glue due to the products being flammable.
Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative? I do have fish glue, CA glue and Titebond on hand. Reluctant to use CA glue as I am concerned it will bleed into the spruce top and show in the finish.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Curtis

Re: Binding and Purfling Glue
You can seal the binding channels first with lacquer and use CA. You can google it and find videos to show you how.
