BEST Glue for Guitar Finish Repair

Glu boost Fill n Finish is unlike typical ca. it remains slightly flexible (like hard nitro or urethane is) and the accelerator, unlike other brands, doesn’t have acetone in it so it’s safe to spray on nitro.

It’s more expensive then typical ca, but it’s a must have for repairs.

I was pleased to see the level of your professionalism by using a real pen on the fake binding. Thanks for posting.

You could scrape the surface with a rubber spreader before it hardens. This will prevent having to scrape off the hardened gluboost. It's similar to applying grain filler then wipe it.

To get the proper Gap on your blade, you need to apply the tape without slack. As shown in the video, both sides have slack

Mr. Hannam,

I would respectfully ask that you specify which Guitar Center you believe the sub par repair came from, as I assure you, the guitar repair tech at the Grand Junction store takes pride in his work and would not take a job he would not be able to complete to an acceptably high standard. Thank you.

I have a big chip out of the finish at the corner of my bridge..bought it pulled away and reglued it... Wondering if some version of this repair would work to replace a thumbnail sized chip

Hello, great video. I have an old Kay parlor guitar. The bridge was bolted down on top of the guitar's finish with no glue. It has lifted up and I have removed the bridge. I want to glue it down and re-bolt it. Is there a glue that will bond the wood bridge to the guitar's glossy finish? thanks for your help.

I still prefer filling with nitro lacquer. The process takes longer, but it looks so much better. Leave the GluBoost for Dave in Canada.

I still see the crack 😮should’ve used tinted CA or resin. I’d have reinforced the interior of that crack too.

Marker 🤦

I like to spray the accelerator first it seems that the glue doesn’t bubble up or turn white as much just my preference nice job otherwise

Love this, but I repaired a Blueridge once with such a heavy gloss finish and the glue got under the finish and opened up a can of visual worms. I could see this working on many finishes though .. but test a small area first right? (PS surprised an Acoustasonic top already split!)

[michaelaiello]

I have Starbond super fast thin. But it seems that Glu Boost is gonna be preferable with nitro?

Do I need the accelerator.., if I’m trying to save some $$ ?

Will that Work on a satin Martin d 28? The finish on my satin is so thin…

Can we use that Glue boost on crack laquer on a maple fingerboard neck ?

I've never seen a acoustic guitar with the strangest looking sides. You said the guitar center did it.

I’m working on my first CA glue drop fill now. I’m using gorilla thick. How long is the “few days” you let it harden?

[sidewaysrain]

First off you rehydrate the guitar and that crack would amost vanish visually. Then apply your glue!

Kinda quick at showing the stuff slow it down. Jesus. Gluboost people yeah I think it's gluboost lmao😂

Sheen does not look perfect. You can clearly see the difference..
