Stephen,

I tried you're suggestion of using Urethane glue on the overlay laminations to prevent cupping and it came out absolutely flat. Thank you!

Today was a lovely day in the shop, I spent the whole time carving braces and puttering around while listening to Mozart violin sonatas. Some days make a person happy to be alive

I missed that, please tell. Urethane glue to stick veneer over some other rib stock?



Stephen Eden -> RE: thanks to SEden (Dec. 16 2015 12:06:08)

That must have been quite some time ago. I think all I said was that PU glue stops veneers going wrinkly as there is no water to absorbs like water based glues.

It's to great to hear you are having a good time. I am working hard at the moment trying to save up for some pottering time in the workshop.

Next year I am planning a redesign of everything which will take a hell of a lot of time with very little income at the end of it. Hopefully it will be worth it.

Really nice take of John to reflect benefit of advice.
Not so common these days.

A social project?

It was a suggestion to use non water based glue (urethane) to prevent cupping or buckling when gluing up overlay stacking. I finally got around to trying it and it worked beautifully. I was hesitant to use it because of the foaming but the little bit of foam that got on the overlay was easily scraped off.

It's probably not going to be a social project. I don't think it will be amazingly interesting to be honest. I have plans to redesign the shape of my guitars which includes mainly making a new mold along with some outside molds for binding gluing and a couple of different inside molds to perform various tasks. So to me that will just look like a right mess thrown in with some meaningless shapes.

John has got me wondering if there is anything else I might know that could be useful though.
