| Post subject: | Rats!! Backstrip Problem |
I recently used a backstrip from LMI (http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproduc ... Backstrips, B16B, Cheveron). Really liked the color match. But after sanding board to 0.1", the whole thing simply split in half (along the centerline of the purfling). I even laminated the other side! Anybody ever have this happen? Suggestions? Mike |

Mike- Did you inlay the backstrip or include it (sandwich) in the back glue-up? When you say that you 'laminated the other side' - was this your cross-grain back seam reinforcement? Can you get the seam to close for re-gluing (and more reinforcement)? Cheers John |

John, I meant to post this in the general forum (which I did). This is an older post. Ultimately, I cleared it out and used a solid piece of wood. |

I had the same problem. Twice. Now I hit it with CA. Problem solved. LMI shows a pic of the chevron strip but it's gone from their product listing. Pat |
