I have created a problem here. The body is quarter sawn cherry and the binding is quarter sawn maple. From the photos you can see the maple binding not completely seated about an inch & a half shy of the butt joint. I used Locite brand super glue as the adhesive. I applied the glue from the top side only in this area. Would you suggest?
1) Use a heat gun on the binding and expect the glue to loosen? Then re-position and glue in proper position.
2) Should I make a tapered strip of maple and fill the gap?
3) Rout the binding off and start again?
I appreciate the advice. This is my twelfth ukulele but only second attempt at binding.
Thanks
