Hi Folks.... I know very little about mandolins but I do know violin restoration... so looking for your advice... 10 years ago I picked up a Peate humpback mandolin for $10 and it has been hanging in my shop ever since. Now, My adult son wants it for play and looks like I need to start the restoration, and all of it I can handle ( I think ) except...
There is a plastic(?) binding on the edge of the fingerboard, both sides, and in places it is pulling away. what type of glue would work to hold it after clamping.
My first preference would be hot hide glue, but I don't know what was the likely glue originally used. I would not relish the idea to remove all of the binding... clean it up and reglue... but if necessary...
Any suggestions?
Super thanks!... Mat
