| Post subject: | Making Purfling |
This is my first try at making (at least in part) purfling. I have a 55 mil strip of cherry and I want to glue a piece of 20 mil thick BW purfling to side. What is the best way to do that? I am leaning toward using CA. If I use CA will it still bend ok in a bender with a heat blanket? |

Titebond III works well. |

+1 on titebond III. I have bent split side pieces glued with CA, the glue held okay but the fumes were very irritating while bending. |

Thanks, but if you use titebond, how do you clamp up any thing that small. My thought is to assemble the cherry strip and the 2 BW strips and then bend it. That way I will have only the binding and 2 pieces of purfling to deal with when I bind the guitar. If I do not per-assemble it, I will have the binding plus 5 pieces of purfling flopping around during binding. That seem like a nightmare. |

Thanks Chrisrophe. I think I could make something like that work. |

This thread is helpful to me as well. Any other approaches to glueing the purfling to the binding prior to bending? |

One way is to laminate a board of whatever height you want your binding and at least 3" wide with a layer of veneer then slice off pieces of appropriate width. That way I get enough for several guitars. I use fish glue. Here's one with the single layer of veneer.
