I do these weekly under warranty.

I read here numerous replies over the years of using ca, whilst I do not doubt it works for them, it does not work for me.

A typical repair for me involves peeling the binding back an inch past the loose section on each side. Using a razor blade I scrape residual glue and bits of the inside of the binding and I also scrape clean the binding ledge of the guitar.

With some heat from a heat gun, i lightly stretch the binding

I use a cellulose based glue, typically these days i melt down fresh new binding from martin with some acetone and make my own glue.

Glue and clamp in place for 24hrs.

After 24hrs, i lightly scrape the binding flush with the surrounding wood.

Then apply finish to the binding and any voids (this part takes the longest)

Job finished
