bob7 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 For my guitar I need to laminate a body/neck, and need to know what type of glue is best for this? (woods are korina/limba and walnut) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I don't speak from personal experience, but titebond is probably the best wood for any wood glueing. Any other opinions? Also, you might want to clean/prep the surfaces with something like naptha before gluing to promote adhesion regardless of your choice of glue.

daveq Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 A lot of people use Titebond I (or Titebond Original). I've used Titebond Extend also. The only reason I tried Extend is due to a recommendation from the manufacturer on the issue of joint creep. There's a comparison of the glues on mimf. From what I remember, you won't come away with the impression that any one glue is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob7 Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 From what I remember, you won't come away with the impression that any one glue is best. I did see that, and hence my asking.... Does home depot sell titebond? If not where would i purchase this(other than online) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I'm sure Home Depot does. Pretty much any home improvement warehouse, or hardware store will. I'ts like the standard for woodwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbansmurf Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 be sure to get titebond 1 (original) and not titebond 2, titebond 1 is better than 2 except for that 2 is water resistant, but if the glue gets wet through your finish, you have more problems than glue can fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 When I went to Home Depot for the Titebond I couldn't remember if Titebond 1 or 2 was the best. Luckily I remembered this pic that Wes had of his pictorial on his neck-through. It shows the label and cap color clearly. Thanks wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I've also had great success with Gorilla Glue. So you might want to check into it also. I've use both Titebond and Gorilla Glue, it just depends on what I'm gluing together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 My stuff is just called "Carpenter's Glue" and the caption "Holds with 2 tons of pressure" or something like that. I hope that'll do the trick, 'cause I didn't notice the brand name "Titebond" anywhere. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
