<DIV> Just to be clear I've used the Bolduc glue exclusively
& I <FONT size=3><U><STRONG>really Like it</STRONG></U>.</FONT> My
real complaint is that it's expensive & I can't buy it bulk. To me
it's such a great glue. </DIV>
<DIV> As to clamping ,When I make pinblocks I make them one at a
time no double panels......so it's not a wide panel & I can get clamps every
where. I always check for glue lines and such & I have no issues with
my protocol except I use every clamp I have. I'm looking for another way to
laminate them. Even so it's not difficult or arduous to make these blocks
with proper equipment & haven't tuned many others that make smile as
much as this. It's all Farrells fault. HE made the first one
for me one about 4 years ago & I got hooked.</DIV>
<DIV> It's very satisfying. With a 6 mm delignit bridge
cap top and quarter sawn maple cross banded under neath there
is, for all intents and purposes zero flag poling & such a accurate &
smooth tuning. </DIV>
<DIV> <STRONG><U>Thanks to all for all the glue advise</U></STRONG></DIV>

color=#000000 size=2>Dale:<BR><BR><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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.<BR><BR>Paul<BR></DIV></FONT></FONT></DIV>
