Hope the flight was enjoyable!
Without pics or seeing it in the flesh, it's difficult to tell if they are just minor surface cracks that can be ignored or filled, or deeper ones that need some work.
If it is down to low humidity and shrinkage, it would mean that some of the glue is adhering a lot better than other parts, otherwise there's no mechanism for shrinkage to pull a joint apart with parallel body blanks.
Hi all,Originally Posted by Simon Barden
i got home last night from my trip and had another look at the crack i mentioned. it doesn't look as bad as i remember from the beginning of the week. so either i have fishing brain (it was thiiiiiis big!) or the heat (having reduced during the week) is causing a small crack to expand and contract.
I'd love to get some advice on what to do if anything. a friend who built a guitar suggested some superglue. i thought wood glue might be better. but would really like advice from some of you
