Title: What glues used
Post by: daveski on October 08, 2008, 11:56:30 AM: Just wondering after looking at all those superb instruments being made in the factory to customer thread, what glue is used to adhere the wings to the neck when the instruments are in the clamps?

Alembic just does fantastic woodwork.
