2001 Taylor 310 :: bridge re-glue
Early pre-dawn bridge re-glue on a Taylor 310 dreadnought. I'm loving the moldable plastic pellets (InstaMorph) I picked up weeks ago for making custom clamping cauls. The cauls are shown above on the outer wings, backed with plywood for rigidity and to keep the clamps from slipping.
Repairing removable sides :: 1999 Luthier Music Corp TRVL01 travel classical
Let's see how this goes. Here's a travel classical with removable sides and the tabs have been repaired numerous times in the past. I made two cauls out of InstaMorph, along with fiberglass and mahogany veneers to sandwich the tabs. The trick will be pulling this off somewhat cleanly as I'm using epoxy. If this turns out well, I get to repeat this three more times.
