Rosewood Repair Q
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2015 2:42 pm
This is my first post, question so be gentle!!
And it is a very fitting "NEWB" question, First off let say that I am using Fish glue.
I am gluing my rosewood back on to the sides in a mold. I drilled 3/8 hardwood dowels every 2 1/2in. all the way around to tie the banding too.
I am using 3/4 rubber bands from SM as my clamping device.
I left the back piece of wood too big............I should have trimmed it smaller, like a 1/4in. bigger than finished "D"size.
Yes!!
I cracked a piece off on the lower bout when I was banding the glue job...............dumb, DUMB !!
It worked flawlessly on the top so...I ASSUMED.
Now the question, how do I fix it???
IT is only 1/8 strip for 2in. on a curve, so not a lot.
Their is still a ledge for the existing top and the half moon sliver to glue to.
Their is some glue residue, do I get rid of it, some how or add some new too it and the piece that broke off tomorrow??
I have some thin super glue I can use to soak in the crack afterword.
OR all fish glue, all the time!!!
On the crack/seam and to glue it back to the kerf??
Please help, I have made it this far!!!!!!!!!!!! I can smell the tru oil and shellac.
Thank you for your time and help in advance!!
