Hey guys and girls...first time out in the shop since August! So, I've scraped the finish from the bridge spot (I hate to scrape Tony's finishes...I know it's necessary, but it seems WRONG! ) and I got all my nerve up to use HHG for the first time...now, how long do I leave it clamped? Not talking til string-up, just til I can undo it and continue working...TIA.

Hi Larry, when I was using HHG for my bridges with a vac clamp I left them under pressure for one hour, after that I removed the clamp and let is site over night.
Really, its been since last August since you've been in the shop?

Yep, it's really been since August! Hard to believe I know! Say, whattayamean "when I was using" HHG...are you back to Titebond now, and if so, why? And thanks for the quick reply! Looks like the OLF's keeping you busy!

Okay, well LMI white's out on the shelf too...I just wanted to enter the hallowed ground of those HHG guys out there...seems so sophisticated and yet old-worldy at the same time! (I guess if the bridge comes off I won't be laughing...)...
