I have seen the recommendation to use Acetone.....I have some wax and grease remover....same stuff isn't it?

It is a clear liquid not much removed from water in consistency. I would rather run a little of that up the back edge of the binding/purfling then run the risk of creating glue spots with CA glue.

Mark, did you just brush it / dribble it / squirt it onto the binding and then tape it in place? Or was there some other magic involved?

The track your parcel thing had the guitar in Sydney yesterday.....I reckon Fri or Mon for delivery here.

I am waiting to see the nature and size of the binding used on the body and neck, and also the colour of the dots on the fretboard. The listing stated they were mother of pearl...maybe they are real or black pearl, as the photos have them nearly abelone in colour.

The luthier supply place on the Gold Coast has a tortoiseshell plastic binding and heaps of different styles of dots from plastic to abelone.

Really keen to just see this one.
