I just thought i'd post these pics of my LMI glue after I used it to
add some white purfling to an ebony fretboard at around 40-45F (5C in the gentleman's temperature
. The glue dries bright white. It doesn't appear to have too freeze to do so, just be cold.
I glued two little bits of ebony together then sanded back thinking i would reveal a thin bright white line but i can't see any. I still think you would get one if your joints weren't dead flat etc
I emailed LMI out of curiosity to ask if the glue loses any adhesion properties after drying white. They said that "in low temperatures the glue tends to dry white. This doesn’t mean that the glue joint is bad, it's just something that happens in the cold."
All the joints seem strong and all the glue sanded away so no harm done- Still, I'll be testing it a little more before i use it on anything other then little non stressed bits like fingerboard bindings etc
ps- Lets not argue about glue brands.
pps- like my Mr Bean impersonation?
