Hey folks, I'll be using Bolteron binding on ebony and mahogany and was wondering which of LMI's adhesives works best.
Thanks.

Or, are there any glues that you would recommend for this operation? Titebond? I've just never glued plastic to wood so I'm unsure what will work best.

No. 1 was a Martin kit w/white binding. I think it was Boltaron.

The Weld On Cement from StewMac worked great.

Thanks guys. I'll go with the Weld-On since I already need to place an order through Stew-Mac.

I had problems with the weld on stuff and kept having to re-do the binding. It just wasn't acceptable. So I used LMI white glue and it worked like a charm.
