Re: just in a day

Re: Luthier hyde glue

Yes i have read extensively about it but i was not aware that the glue would not work thank you for the heads up. In my logic the stronger the strength the quicker or faster it would chip. But alas I am incorrect not the first nor the last .
Thanks for the info

Joining or splicing abalone letters?

I have searched and searched but cannot come up with any answers to this. If you have a letter that your abalone or MOP sheet does not quite cover how do you splice another piece of abalone or MOP to it? Or is this even possible to do? I hope I have explained this well enough.
