I am about to bend a third set of sides, though have not finished one guitar yet.

Geez once I finish the first, I will have parts for 2 more waiting to go.

Any way, squeeze out. I am looking at the first 2 sets of ribs. I have the linings and blocks in. But I am by nature the antithesis of hesh, my shop is dirty. I can live with that usually but not on the ribs.

The insides of both my ribs have too many drips of glue squeeze out. Is there a trick to avoid this? What about putting in some tape when gluing the ribs, or what do ya'll do?

I dont mean for this to sound like a short answer, but the answer is to use less glue so that squeeze out is minimal. It is a learned talent. I had someone show me how and I suspect that if someone showed you the trick you would have it for life.

bottom line....use less glue

squeeze out of titebond will usually pop right off with a sharp chisel. Let it dry before you try to scrape it off.

thanks,

thats what i figured, be more neat and tidy
