Re: Closing structural cracks with hide glue

What I prefer to do with any kind of repair is to make it as well hidden under normal lighting conditions as possible on grenadilla instruments (more difficult to achieve on kingwood, cocobolo, rosewood or other lighter coloured wooden bodied instruments) as I personally don't like seeing glaring evidence of repairs whether that be pinning screw ends showing or carbon fibre bands showing on the surface of the joints - my pet hate is metal flush bands as I find them particularly ugly on any instrument.

As for fibre banding of any kind, the most extensive and traditional use of fibre banding can be seen on shakuhachis - usually rattan binding inlaid into grooves cut into the bamboo and flush with the surface, or lacquered thread or string binding on the surface itself leaving raised rings in between the fingerholes.
