I find that sanding plastic binding to a minimum of 320 grit will remove the scratches. Anything smaller than that gets filled in by the lacquer and dissappears.

In the Taylor video they refer to "3M plastic adhesive". So presuamably a 3M product. Anyone know which one?

Peace,

Because they likely want a fast cure time for production run ability I bet it is EZ250015 polyurathane reative adhesive.

That PUR stuff is an interesting product, but doesn't seem like what Taylor was using. Some info on the EZ250015:

Quote:
3M Scotch-Weld Polyurthane Reactive (PUR) Easy 250 Adhesive. One-component, 100% Solids, Polyurethane Reactive Adhesive. Fast set time, excellent for wood bonding and other materials. 15 second set time, 1 1/2 minute open time.

Also this stuff comes in a caulk tube, and my understanding is that its consistency is also more caulk-like. In the Taylor video it is an amber colored liquid in a regular squeeze bottle. The open and set times were definitely longer than 15/90 seconds! It was a pretty unhurried, hand tape-on binding process they showed (Factory Fridays, binding part 2).

Peace,
Sanaka
