Cutting Binding And Purfling Channels Using The Lmi Professional Wipe it off quickly. add my tightbond to the maple part of the miter joint. get it in position, double check, ….tack it in place and then move on up the face of the fingerboard using the ca sparingly but also being sure that i use enough to firmly attach the purfling. Here are the steps to making this simple little tool: make a fresh cup of coffee or tea (optional but recommended 😉. next, cut off an extra piece of binding about 1″ or so long. then trim it down with a 1 4″ chisel so that it has a 45 degree angle. lastly, trim the other side, creating a 90 degree angle. A bit more about veneer and how you can actually use it to make purfling, this video is about rosettes, but the principles are very much the same as far as cutting the strips, you can basically use a standard wood, mahogany, maple etc and die it using transtint to any color you can imagine, even if the veneer is not long enough you can butt the strips together, for example an om size guitar. Ensure uniform depths to avoid penetrating through the soundboard. spread hot hide glue within the channels then press the colorful purfling strips into place for quick tack. use a soft mallet to gently tap the bindings down firmly. scrape off any excess purfling strips for a perfectly flush fit.
