Well, I am doing something very new to me.
I have a banjo neck where I have pulled the frets. I want to glue cherry veneer into the slots using CA glue.
I have little experience with this stuff outside of some Crazy Glue repairs.
I have a bottle of Medium viscosity CA from Woodworkers and have a couple of questions.
Since it does not seem like a good idea to work out of the bottle can I put some on a plate and apply with toothpicks?
Is there a better way to precisely apply it?
What sort of open time / working window would I have with this glue?
Would it be better to put glue in first and then put in the filler strip or put in a strip and apply glue to top?
How well does it wick?
Can this glue be colored with lampblack?
How well does this glue take dye? I had thought to use shoe lether dye to even up the color on the finished fretboad.
Any other thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
