Dale: I've used the Bolduc glue for pinblock lamination for several years when I'm oversizing them or building up multi-level blocks. The only issue for me is even clamping pressure and the size of the panels that I've been working with since I don't have a full soundboard press system (still buying them from Andre with nary a complaint other than I ache to be making them myself :-). I don't see why it wouldn't work with rib stock laminates as well. As I recall, Andre told me several years ago when I was interviewing him for the Journal that he uses his own glue for the pinblocks he makes as well. You might ask him.
