>Has anyone had any success gluing a cracked bird's eye? Everybody's friend, CA glue. BUT you still_must_inlay a piece of vertical grain veneer with of course CA glue :-) Same old repair, just quicker acting adhesives. Recently, I had an old jack break. I was out of accelerator. So I moistened the joint after glueing. not the same result. However I tried Susan's CA glue and white glue trick on felt . . .great! I ended up bringing the jack back to my shop for reglueing. Actually, the wood also disintegrated at the joint so I rebuilt the area with Thick CA glue, filed and shaped to fit. You gotta love this stuff. Having utilized this material for a few years I have come to the conclusion of only buying thin and medium viscosities. The solvents evaporate so the heavy usually ends up a solid mass after a while. So by rotating the stock by evaporation rates, I can maintain a supply of glue. I go through about twice as much thin as anything else. And this without ever having treating a tuning pin. I've been getting it from Mohawk. I buy the accelerator by the quart, $26 +s/h. Anything cheaper out there? Jon Page Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass.
