Re: Closing structural cracks with hide glue

If I do a crack repair, I expect it to be permanent and not something that ever needs to be reversed - I can't see any reason to reverse what has been a successful crack repair.

Considering the relatively young age of clarinets that come to me that have cracked, there's no real historic value in them or any other reason to preserve the instrument in near original condition as near to original condition is a cracked instrument that's not been repaired - even replacing the joint with a new one is no longer preserving anything as it's no longer original condition.

Structural repairs should be stronger than the rest of the structure so they last, not weaker than the surrounding structure and have to be replaced when they fail. Should the rest of the structure crumble around the repair, then that shows exactly how successful the repair is and how bad the actual structure is.
