  • Thanks - most certainly not an original idea. I read about it on some luthier's blog, he described using superglue to fill a rough grained soundboard. It was so different than my experience with always trying to limit the superglue!
    As for not getting glued to the board, I still remember what happened when I was about 8 and building a balsa glider, tried biting off the chunk of superglue that had plugged the tip of the bottle. You can guess the rest :)
  • Wow, looks good, sounds hard to do. I'd have myself glued to it!
