| Post subject: | I need help with a binding mistake |
I have created a problem here. The body is quarter sawn cherry and the binding is quarter sawn maple. From the photos you can see the maple binding not completely seated about an inch & a half shy of the butt joint. I used Locite brand super glue as the adhesive. I applied the glue from the top side only in this area. Would you suggest? 1) Use a heat gun on the binding and expect the glue to loosen? Then re-position and glue in proper position. 2) Should I make a tapered strip of maple and fill the gap? 3) Rout the binding off and start again? I appreciate the advice. This is my twelfth ukulele but only second attempt at binding.

Try the heat, but I would probably rout it off and redo the binding. I am wondering how you plan to cut out and inlay the butt splice you have marked with the binding on. Fred |

The splice is over the dovetail neck joint. Will acetone loosen the super glue? |

Try acetone it might work. There are also release agents like this: http://www.3mdirect.co.uk/p-2460-3m-sco ... -20ml.aspx I never tried it. Worst case rerout and redo. |

Acetone worked. I have peeled back to where it fits rights. I plan to clean up the residue and carry on. Thanks for the help. |
