All I have on hand is Behlens HHG. It has a gram strength of 164. Works great for braces, fretboards, and closing the box, but is it OK for a bridge? I have read where others use HHG with gram strengths around 200 and more for bridges. Thanks, Chuck |

Thanks Todd, just wanted to be sure, I've been wanting to get some 192 gram strength for bridges, not sure if I'm quick enough for the 315. Chuck |

Behlen can be all over the charts in terms of strength according to tests by Bjorn Industries. Stewmac says theirs is ~256. All work fine. |

I glued one on about 2 weeks ago using Behlins. I have no idea what the strength of it is but it's holding fine so far. I just heated a little with a heat gun and did a quick but practiced clamping. So far, I don't see any reason do more in the future. |
