Members Gypsy Freedom Posted July 2, 2008 Members Share Posted July 2, 2008 Which glue would you recommend for putting these two halves back together? I was thinking some form of epoxy. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sonic Jedi Posted July 2, 2008 Members Share Posted July 2, 2008 I fixed a violin once. sides came separated from the bottom. I believe what I used was called hyde glue. I'd go find a shop that fixes violins and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larryguitar Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 Would Wood Glue work? If the halves mate closely, are clean and free of voids, that's what I'd suggest-Titebond (the original, not II or III.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MahaloVision Posted July 3, 2008 Members Share Posted July 3, 2008 For that, Titebond is fine. I'm surprised there's no kerfing around the rim, though. For violins, you should only use hot hide glue, not the liquid stuff in the bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tedmich Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 LMII has a great luthier glue: dries hard for better sustain and harmonics (like hide) and can be heat disassembled for repair (unlike epoxy) also very humidity tolerant (unlike hide) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
