Hello!
What glue do you use for plastic binding? Is it possible to use titebond? Superglue?

I've only worked with wood bindings, so hopefully someone else can confirm...
LMI sells a couple of different binding glues. You might peruse the descriptions there.

I believe that Duco is commonly used as a cement for this type of application

StewMac recommends (and sells) this stuff for plastic bindings.

I don't think any kind of PVA or Aliphatic is going to work, and CA is dangerous near the end grain on your spruce(?) top.
Again, I've only used wood bindings, and always used the LMI instrument makers glue, so I'd defer to someone with more experience to confirm this information...

Some woods and CA won't work together as the CA can yellow or glaze the wood that shows up as a glue signature. I use DUCO cement to glue plastic to wood . Tite bond doesn't work on plastic . I have seen that fail . I get this at the dollar store
