Don't worry Todd. I didn't take it as anything. Mike

I think it is easier to adjust the side purfling miters if they are not attached to the bindings. However, if you cut your own wooden pruflings they may not like to bend sideways so much, and attaching them to the bindings may be the only way to make them behave.

Todd, I took your suggestions.  I was easily able to separate the bwb from the wood binding. I applied the bwb and mitred the end graft much easier than I would have before.  I used a drop of CA every few inches - worked like a charm. Thanks

I have found that using a minimum amount of moisture and heat when bending bindings greatly reduces the amount of "wiggle" in the purflings. The only problem is that it's a lot slower !

Also, I have been using CA to glue purflings to bindings prior to bending for 14 years... no problems yet.

I glue the binding/purfling assembly to the guitar with Titebond.

Really newb question coming up :D

which purfling are you guys adding prior to bending?  The one at the bottom, towards the sides?
Maybe the second, top purfling too?  Or that one is added after the main binding is glued?

Subtle question.

I was taught that Purfling is an "inlaid" piece (the detail you traditionally see on violins and such) and Binding is any trim that creates a corner (you can see it on two faces like the neck shown above). Does this sound correct? Was it correct at one time but blurring as time goes by?

I wish I could edit my previous post.

I guess  you could consider the BWB above a Purfling and the white material (Curly maple?) the binding.  Or am I being too subtle?

Thanks. So, you have to inlay the back (or top) purfling *after* the binding+side purfling are in place.
