Bob; I would not use TiteBond as it is a high strength Aliaphatic formulation. TiteBond does well where there are nonshearing forces in action, not so well where there are shearing forces. Aliphatic glues,as a class, tend to allow "creep" and therefore in my opinion is not well suited to the type repair needed for Backs/blocks or sounding board glue down. I use 'Weldwood Plastic Resin' glue for this type repair. This is a one part water soluble glue that is resistant to moisture, when cured, is extremely strong and does not allow 'creep'. Practically speaking, if you use 5/16" carriage bolts in your repair you can use almost any type of glue. I have never used epoxy or boat resin in this application, probably due to laziness, as I prefer to keep things simple and have been well satisfied with Weldwood PRG. Hope this helps you decide something. Jim Bryant (FL)
