Can two pieces of wood be separated after they have been glued together with gorilla glue?
I used gorilla glue to reattach the fingerboard to my son's violin. All was well until the next day when I saw that the fingerboard had shifted position before the glue dried. No, I did not clamp it. I forgot about the "expansion factor" of this particular glue. Now I have a violin with an off-center fingerboard which is a total loss. Please help.
OK....pay attention...I've been working with wood (cabinet making, furniture making, construction framing, etc) for over 20 years. I've also built a couple of classical guitars and a virginal, so I know about instruments too. I work with gorilla glue all the time. It expands dramatically when curing. NEVER EVER use gorilla glue (or any polyurethane glue) on musical instruments. Only use quality standard wood glue such as Tightbond by Franklin. The two pieces can be seperated with minimal damage by using a thin razor blade. If I remember correctly, the face of the neck (where the fingerboard gets glued to) is not arched. Only the face of the fingerboard is arched. So the two surfaces that were glued together were flat, right? With a sharp spineless razor, in a sawing motion, try making your way between the neck and fingerboard by starting at the underside of the fingerboard down by the body. Do not pull up hard on the fingerboard as you are doing this to avoid snapping it. If you are not able to make any progress with the razor, go to Home Depot and buy a detail saw. It has a very thin flexible blade with lots of teeth on each side of the blade. It's only about $12. It's more aggessive than the razor, so be careful. As long as you go slowly and keep your eye on things, you should be able to seperate the pieces with minimal damage. Because the glue expanded, the two pieces of wood are not in exact contact with each other (there is the expanded glue inbetween them), so you should have some wiggle room. I seperate joints like this all the time. If in the end you make no progress, don't worry... finger boards are replaceable. No big deal.
How to Bind your Own Book? - Perfect Binding Method
Bookbinding is a great craftwork which started long time ago. Nowadays more and more people are finding about this and trying to learn it. It is a good hobby to start and the feeling will be wonderful once you complete your own book. In this article you will learn how to bind your own book by perfect binding method.
What is perfect binding?
Perfect binding is a simple method in which a paper ( thicker than normal paper ) cover is attached to a stack of signatures using glue. After you have the correct knowledge you can create your own perfect bound book quickly. It is one of the easiest methods of bookbinding and if done properly you will get a perfect paperback book.
The materials you will need are
- signatures
- a cover ( thicker than the papers )
- paper clamp
- glue ( white glue, gorilla glue, hot glue, pva glue etc. )
- scissors
- brush for spreading the glue
- sand paper
Steps
First arrange all the signatures to form a stack. See that all the four sides are placed properly. If any side is out of order then trim it.
Take the paper clamp and attach it near the spine so that the signatures stay in place. Keep them correctly so that the finishing is good.
Roughen up the side along the spine using a sand paper. This will bind the signatures strongly when you apply the glue.
Take some glue and spread it all over the spine edge. Keep it for drying. Apply the glue after it has dried. This will ensure that the signatures are attached strongly. Hold this together by using clamps on the spine edge.
Take the cover and fold it to fit the spine edge of the book. Use a ruler to fold the cover properly. Now apply the glue again on the spine and attach the cover. Keep this strongly held till it dries completely.
Using these steps you will have your very own perfect bound book ready. You will not even need help from others. If you are doing it the first time you will have some difficulty. Take some rough papers and practice on them to learn
how to bind your own book
correctly.
All the best.
