No comment on the usual glue shenanigans so all ill say for now is that its nice using hot glue when it is 20F outside and that I got a nice picture of it the first day
I got the LMI 192 gram strength which seems to work well. (I mixed 40 grams glue to about 75 grams water) It gels pretty quick (ie short clamp time) but it can still be cleaned up for quite a while around braces etc. For some reason (not sure why) I was under the impression that it hardened quickly but it can be cleaned with a damp rag/straw for enough time to do any luthiery clean up (says I who have about 40 mins experience with it...)
Ill be using it for top braces mostly but, at least for now, ill still be LMI or titebonding for linings, bindings etc due to longer open time. Epoxy for fingerboards.
Thanks be to Rick Turner and Allen
