Binding and Purfling Glue

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

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

Bens advice is sound.
