The only adhesive that I know of that recommends scuffing is epoxy.
Some bad info on grain orientation as well.

Has anyone tried Lee Valley's 2002 GF for laminating ? I've used it for years on dark colored woods and even on light woods where the tan glue line isn't a problem. Much like HHG, it dries glass hard and cleans up easily with water. I've used System Three for pore filling and I'm not crazy about the...

Tone is in the ear of the player. As an example, I bought an Ibanez Artcore jazz archtop because I liked it and the sound. There's a long list of bad reviews on the pickups and most people claim they've changed them out to high-end units. I really like that guitar as it is, and I've had good comment...

If I'm reading this correctly, the question is about acoustic guitar necks and the possibility of a neck reset in the future.
A really good fitting dovetail joint requires very little glue. If it locks in place as it should, there would be no cold-creep because the glue is not under any stress.

It should work fine, as long as you remember it has a very short
gelling time. Make sure the 'dry fit' is good and make a dry run
to see how much time it takes.

Call them 'custom sound ports' and charge extra for them.

I put together a solid (relatively) inexpensive cutter using parts from Lee Valley's
Veritas Inlay String Tool System.
1 compass center+inlay cutter head=a very solid tool for life long use.

A friend of mine has an early '60's Martin O-18 mahog with red spruce top. That thing holds up well even against banjos and has great tone. Scale is 24.9.

very nice. I'd like to hear it

I like sharp edge tools too, for the most part. With figured woods, I haven't found any that works better than
a microplane rasp, but I'm always willing to try.

If you email them, they will tell you which two are used the most by luthiers.
They do recommend a particular size and stitch pattern. There was a thread on
the AGF forum a while back that went into detail

I use a Fuji HVLP unit and it does spray a heavier coat. (more material/less air)
So adjust as necessary

I've been buying from Lee Valley since the 1980's. About five or six years ago, I bought a Veritas plane that went down in price a month or two later. I was kicking myself for not waiting a while longer.Two or three weeks after, I received a cheque for the price difference. I have never regretted bu...

Very nice !!! I'd really like to hear that.

It would really depend on the weather. Where I am, my A/C dehumidifier Is taking two five gallon pails of water out of the air inside !! I wouldn't dream of working outside.

If your reading Rx is about +1.75 or less, you should only need readers. At +2.00 and over you start losing intermediate, and then the progressives are great.
