I love hot hide glue, it is wonderful stuff, but how do you work with it to accomplish a large glue up like the binding and purfling of an acoustic guitar? You just have to stop thinking about hot hide glue as just another form of modern synthetic glues. In this video I detail my process for glueing binding and purfling using hot hide glue. It is much more relaxing than you might think and it achieves a solid joint that is neither glue starved nor weakened by setting before adequate clamping pressure can be applied. The only downside, your hands will be covered in hide glue.

At 2 am I had this ache to know how one glues on bindings with HHG, and lo and behold I found this video! Great thorough explanation, thanks! Have you tried this with just the first go of tape? I suppose that's why you wrap clamped it and re-activated the glue.. to get it perfect. What gram strength of HHG are you using for his operation?

So, I have done just tape, no wrap, with both white instrument glue and HHG. It is doable, with a modern type glue I do not think you could really get a very solid joint (you basically get a rub joint which pva type glues do not excel at), but maybe arguably not important, lots of people do it this way. With HHG you can tape and go back and reactivate with heat, dry heat would be best as steam might weaken the tape bond and unbind your guitar. I prefer to wrap the guitar because it allows additional clamping force and being able to use a moist heat to reactivate the glue allows a bit more finessing of the final fit, I can seat the binding in more exactly. I think it is also the best way to ensure a fully solid glue joint within the binding/purfling area. I can't say that that matters for sound, but I do notice that removing wood to make a binding channel does dramatically affect the tap tone of the top, so I do not think its wild to imagine changes in that area affect the sound of a completed guitar. Gram strength wise, I am using 192, for most things including binding.

@@QueenCityGuitars The possible tonal benefit is what makes me curious, and the sucking in action of the HHG. I guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and accept I must try it all ways.
