Hi all, I have a 1953 Gretsch Electromatic 6185-6, and about an inch of binding came loose (see attachments), so I'm wondering about the proper way to repair it.
Question 1: I was talking to the guy who usually works on my guitars, and he recommended heating it slightly to bend it back into place. Is this necessary for such a short length?
Question 2: What is the proper glue for this? I'm familiar with Duco Cement as a popular choice, but I'm not hot to buy a whole tube for a 1" repair. I have a jar of Plastruct Bondene. Would this work? Otherwise, what do you recommend, or should I just buy the Duco Cement?
Thanks!
