I just glued up some plastic binding on my baritone ukulele Kit build. I used the Stewmac Bind-All glue which has a 2 minute set time. The plastic binding was long enough to go around the whole instrument. I did not think in two minutes I could apply the glue, set the binding and tape it in place, so I tried to do it in sections. This was a disaster. The plastic binding is installed but there is glue everywhere.
I just watched Robert O'Brien's Luthier Tips du Jour Mailbag 6 - Bindings with CA glue. He tapes up his binding and then applies a thin CA glue between the tape. This way you can be sure everything is perfect before the glue comes out. This sure seems like a better way of doing it.
My questions
1. Will CA glue stick to the plastic binding?
2. It there a better glue then the Stewmac Bind-All glue? It's kind of runny and using a better glue bottle would be helpful.
Thanks as always
