Rosette mishap
|
|
|
So, it all started with a cheapo pre-made rosette from Grizzly. It was thinner than the channel in some spots and was leaving gaps. So my luthier/teacher told me to use a THIN line of water based white glue along the middle of the channel and clamp the rosette in, in order to expand it a little to fit. Only problem, he left me unsupervised and I put WAY too much glue in, actually causing the rosette to expand like crazy and when I came back I realized the edges had swelled out of the channel. Totally ruined. The solution, which I thought I would show you, was to soften the glue using a weighted heating pad, and moving it slowly around, scraping up after it with a knife. Then we cleaned up the old glue, found a new rosette that was wider inside and out, and routed out for it.
