I use this method for celluloid tortoise binding and it works great. I agree with the point that it's a good method for those who already use Titebond or similar glue for binding and purfling since the only change you make to your standard procedure is to wipe of the inside of the binding strips with acetone right before gluing. Otherwise, the procedure is the same.
