I was gluing on the lining of this guitar last night and it occurred to me it might be nice to share this very simple yet effective tip. I have had reverse and triangular linings bruise, dent and become stained using a verity of clamps. I have used binder clips and gotten pinch marks and black stains, the small spring clamps are all over the board on clamping tension. So I started to back my linings with scrap pieces of linings and it helped accomplish two things, no more pinch or bruise marks and stains, and it also spreads out the clamping pressure over a larger area. Here are a few shots... Thanks! Attachment: S1055039.JPG This picture shows a good example if the marks that can be left. Attachment: S1055037.JPG Attachment: S1055038.JPG Attachment: S1055042.JPG

Geez, Joe, maybe because you aren't Lance, and it was his idea?

I have had great luck with wood clothes pins reinforced with rubber bands. Also, there are super small spring clamps you can get at hardware stores that fit pretty good. Of course, I am usually just happy to get things to glue up properly and not as concerned with how they look yet.

I have had problems with those tiny colored spring clamps not having enough clamping power. |

Charlie Hoffman's site shows a caul that I have used for years for triangular linings.Made them from UHMW polyethylene .375 by.750 purchased at Lee Valley. Go to site, hit site map ,scroll to step by step ,making and installing the lining,hit here. The material comes in strips and a couple of cuts on the table saw and you have the cross section,from there cut the strip into individual caul's approximately .300 wide. I use small c clamps and this works like a dream for me. No doubt takes a bit more time then spring clamps.But the lining to side joint is tight all along the total length. Cheers Tom. |
