Moisturize to close crack
Hello, I have an ukulele with a crack that I hope to close. It is a 1940s or 50s mahogany.
Whenever I´ve read about this the writer says, "go very carefully ahead".
I suppose that means don´t (never ever!) over moisturize but rather let it take the time.
Now if, I can get the cracks to close, at perhaps 50% humidity, the risk of introducing tensions in the back that will cause new cracks is there, isn´t it?
Thankful for any point of view.
