Best glue for rosewood binding

Post by Mike Perez »

With Indian rosewood binding on a mahogany body, does the rosewood need to be wiped with any solvent/thinner to remove the oil?
What's the best glue?
Thank you.

Solvent wiping is not recommended. Rosewood binding will glue well with Original Titebond.
