%!$ Easy Diy Woodworking Bench Plans For You #!@

titebond-liquid-hide-glue-guitar-repair-example Those of us that build all have an opinion. Post Nov 09, 1 T Feedback Comments. Woodworkers glue is water soluble, has longer working times than Hide glue and is very strong. It has been noted several times in different posts that hide glue sets up almost immediately where Titebond may take several months to cure. I had not heard of the 'Extend' version: I'll have to check that out.

It forms strong joints, but allows joint disassembly with a hot knife. Shelf life is months if stored in a cool, dry location. Titebond or hide glue? Hot glue or bottled?

Dan Erlewine uses three glues for this repair, and each has different properties. He explains why one glue can't cover all the bases. And he's created some pretty interesting cauls for clamping this job together while it dries!

Easy to use. And I think it really does turn very much rock hard. I've found it great to work with. Nice time to work it and it cleans with warm water almost perfectly oozing out of bonds etc. Cleans up easily with damp cloth. It's really good for quick jobs, when you don't want to bother with hot glue. I have been using this for over a decade now and will never go back to the glue pot.

Works every bit as good, clean up and dispensing is much easier and the shop doesn't smell all day. Was able to attach the neck on my older Hofner Senator archtop guitar. Neck had become loose and once strings were removed, I was able to remove the entire neck without damage.

Cleaned the area for gluing on both the body and neck. Applied hide glue to both areas, clamped them together and let them clamped for 48 hours.

That was it. Restrung guitar and started playing. Great product for guitar repair and maintenance. And think this is a great glue to have around for those jobs that take a little extra time. I personally used to use hot hide glue but found that the mixing time along with its properties as a glue turned me away from using it on guitars. One glue that I recently discovered is fish glue, currently sold by StewMac. I have only used it on several occasions after a guitar building friend of mine recommended it to me.

Based on his review, it apparently transfers tone quite well and has very similar properties to hide glue; however, I cannot give much of an opinion on it until I have tried it more extensively. Also, the hide glue that you mix is different from the hide glue that you can buy in a bottle. I would generally recommend that you avoid bottled, premixed hide glue. Titebond has never failed you, so why switch now?

One of the most useful properties of HHG is that it shrinks as it cures. The shrinking of the glue can be used to pull a small crack together or pull a ill fitting joint together.

Cleanup can also be a good reason to use HHG. Traces of PVA can effect dye from penetrating wood and any traces of excess glue will show up on a hand rubbed vignette.

I have never heard of HHG crumbling and deteriorating with age. We have many examples of HHG lasting for centuries. Fish glue is similar to liquid hide glue. They are both animal based glues that form a bond with collagen. Collagen is what mother nature uses to hold us all together. Would be interested in what you use for your guitars Matt?

No instrument will last forever, and certainly not without some repairs or modifications along the way. Hide glue lasts plenty long enough, and it's relatively easy to work with. I HHG for crack repairs, for braces, etc. I build classical guitars, so only FP finishes. I don't have any issues with titebond, and I do use it with things that need lots of open time.

I've begun using fish glue too over the past year. I like it so far. It's similar to HHG, but with a much longer open time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Originally Posted by deacon Mark. Actually, I asked a friend of mine, who recently put a new nut and neck set on my '36 Kalamazoo Tenor Guitar, about these older guitars having such a warmer, different sound than the newer ones, he replied about the woods as we all know , aging so gracefully, but he also mentioned something I never thought about.

Hide glue has the ability to move with the vibration of the wood, the newer glues on the market, basically turn to stone. While securing braces and the rest of the instrument, the modern glue also separates these components; hide glue connects them. How about that Originally Posted by Ol' Fret.

There's no constructive or any other intrinsic reason at all that instruments of the violin family need more frequently, or to more extent, to be taken apart when doing repairs, compared to plucked instruments. Originally Posted by Sam Sherry.

With all respect, sure there is. Flat-tops and classicals can be repaired through the big circular hole chopped in the middle of the top.

Violins can't. Most archtop guitars have wide enough f-holes to do a lot of repair. Violins don't. Bill Barker said over 30 years ago when the trend was trying to make or equate carved top guitars with violins. Big mistake violins have sound post made on a completely different principle. Archtop guitars are designed to have sound bounce off the back. Also I remember Jimmy Foster an I were talking about removing necks for resetting and he said my necks are designed to not really ever come off, but if I ever need to take one off I Titebond Liquid Hide Glue Guitar Repair Diy will saw it off.

Join Date Feb Posts Very educational post. I don't have the experience you folks had but recently came across a Gibson engineer talking about Hide Glue, custom tops. I don't really have a dog in this fight, but a couple of things to throw into the mix chum the waters? In the "X did it so it must be cool" department, I read an interview with Jimmy D'Aquisto where he said that although he has used hide glue in the past, he had at the time of the interview changed completely over to yellow glue for guitar building.

I believe Benedetto has also always used Titebond. In all of the joints I have glued and there have been many, guitar and non-guitar , I have never experienced creep with Titebond, cold or otherwise.

He's kind of creepy. It's probably a good idea to use something like hide glue for parts that are more likely than others to need to be taken apart or adjusted at some point.

The neck joint is a good candidate. Braces and neckblocks maybe not so much. My day job is as an experimental psychology researcher, and I think that if you can hear the difference between hide glue and something else you're freakin' nutso. I am some dink on the Internet who has had the same guitar on his bench for over a year, so caveat emptor. Oh, and Post 12 was quite possibly the single best post in the history of this forum.

Tough act to follow! I don't speak Spanish but I am pretty sure post 12 has nothing to do with hide glue or Gibson. If you don't speak the language, how can you be sure? It's all in your mind, anyway. I just thought everyone should know that post 12 is not about hide glue or Gibson. The post is very misleading. If you read this forum without a sense of humor, you're eventually going to be very disappointed. Originally Posted by sgosnell.
