I came across a video of a luthier using household ammonia to soak binding (a so-called wood "plastisizer"), wrapping it in aluminum foil, heating it with a heat gun and then clamping it in a simple plywood mold made to the shape of your uke.
Has anyone ever tried this technique and is it as simple as it seems?
To see the video, go to the link below: Beware, Laplante is a mellow guy and takes a while to get to the point.
