Members version Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 Okay, so I'm an idiot. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...I knocked over my Tacoma Thundercheif ABG and a small part of the top separated from the side near where the low-E end of the neck joins the body. I think I'll try to swing by Home Depot tomorrow and get some glue to fix it. Is there any particular brand that's best for that sort of application, or will any wood glue suffice? Thanks!

Members Hunter6 Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 Titebond is generally considered the best wood glue out there, so go for some of that if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thebeatcatcher Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 ...or titebond II. it's what ken smith uses. just stay away from polyurethane glue like gorilla glue b/c it expands and gets messy and is more brittle in the long run.

Ken Smith doesn't make acoustics. Anyway, if you go to the MIMF forums, they pretty much unanimously agree that titebond 1/hide/epoxy are all better than titebond 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
