Glue for the splice?
« on: August 14, 2013, 01:08:09 PM »

I've done some searching but cant find anything specifically on glue.

Can I just use PVA Wood adhesive in the splice? Or some other substance? I've seen bright white glues used, translucent yellowey types...

Would welcome any suggestions.

I use waterproof PVA.  You can use hide glue, but that would need a melting pot for the glue.

PVA normally dries clear and is stronger than the wood
