hey guys, just got my new tele kit and just got started sanding but as I started I noticed an issue with the binding.
it seems to have seperated from the body slightly. any help would be appreciated.

Hi Druichii if you have a clamp long enough to extend the length of the body I'd put superglue under the lifted area and clamp it. Put some paper or something in between the binding and clamp face or the glue may stick to the clamp !
Angle the clamp if needed to get good purchase on the binding.
If no clamp superglue and hold it with your fingers for a few minutes. Wear gloves or something to protect your fingers

Woks is on the money.
Only other suggestion is to use a chunk of masking tape to hold the binding whilst the goo sets.

Yeah I've seen tape used to high degrees of success

Yhep. I use high tack tape to hold bindings in place. Just have to be careful on some of the softer timbers when removing it otherwise you can tear out chunks of timber....
This invariably leads to an outburst of very loud swearing

The Gavmeister swears by Tarzan's Grip - bit longer cure time and easy to get any excess out of the wood. Follow with some tape - just careful how you remove it...
