Martin Binding Re-glue

The plastic binding on this Martin has shrunk slightly and become loose.

The customer told me that she had the binding re-glued by another luthier, but it had started to come back off in less than a year's time. I decided to fix it right by removing all of the binding, cleaning it up with a scraper, then re-gluing it using acetone to soften the celluloid plastic before gluing it back with PVA glue.

A little bit of touch up work and it's lookin' real good.
