Great video John. Thanks for posting these. I wonder how they got around this problem back in the days before CA. Anyone know?...Mike

Water thin hide glue.

I do pretty much the same as John with one difference, I apply the accelerator first, then wick the glue. You get a little less of the bubbling effect that -can- happen when the glue flashes off.

Found this trick on Frank Finocchio DVD's

Thanks John. It does scare me a bit...I have enough Brazilian for 3 guitars that's been sitting on the shelf for a few years until I get to where I think I'm good enough to give it a go. At the slow rate that I've been building I should have them completed sometime in 2013. :?
