You'll need some bungi cords, elmer's pro wood glue, a little water and a sponge.

First dip your finger in the water and run it along the crack. That brings up the grain a bit and stops the glue from absorbing right in. Not too wet, just a bit.

Next run the glue along the length or the crack. Don't go crazy with the glue, but don't be stingy either.

Now, as nerve-racking as this seems gently push down on either side of the crack, alternating sides. The idea is to work the glue in. Push the bead of glue down by running your finger along the length of the crack with a little bit of force. Do the up and down thing again.

Now wrap the bungi cords around the guitar pulling the crack together. You should see glue push out. This is a good thing.

Once you have all of the bungi cords in place, lightly dampen the sponge and wipe up the excess glue, turning the sponge frequently.

Leave it overnight. If you missed any glue you can clean it up the next day.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/cracked-face-of-acoustic/#post-221990 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/cracked-face-of-acoustic/#post-23273 Fri, 12 Jan 2007 01:19:59 +0000 Thanks in advance...]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Laoch https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/cracked-face-of-acoustic/#post-23273
