I have a good set of sitka spruce with a tight ring count that has a hairline crack about an inch long..I thought I would shellac the area and hit it with some thin ca....is that acceptable ?????? |

My experience is that CA will cause a yellow stain on spruce. |

Don't add shellac. Where is the Hairline and how long? Does it terminate at the edge or not? Can you flex and see it open on both sides? |

this is an easy repair . No on the shellac as stated prior and no on the ca . Tite bond or hot hide glue will work. No need to make it harder than it is . |

the crack is in lower bout area..its a thick piece of sitka, dropped and hit on one side ..I steamed it out and saw it had just a very small hair line crack...how would I use titebone..just kind of force it into the small crack as I flex it????? thanks for the replys |
