To be honest, I do not know exactly which number of white glue is being used, because, as I stated earlier, I do not do the work myself (lucky me)
However, I found some nice glue in Germany but the supplier (the factory) is slow in sending a sample.

Sometimes there is some (unavoidable) minor damage, but it will of course always be restored to invisibility.
In the end, the process of renewing ribs is quite fast and not too expensive.
If you start doing this kind of repair, you must quickly learn how to get the board out and preferably within a few hours, or a day..it is possible, I 've seen it done many times.
And...you must have the capability for handling wood expertly.
I do have a talent for wood but not the expertise, nor the patience.
We all have our own specific talents and the eventual use for them.
