Glue for ivory binding

[Mike Cornwall]

I have some ivory from an old piano, want to experiment with using it to bind an ash bodied guitar. Has anyone experimented with different glues enough to have input on what might be best? I’m hoping HHG, for convenience’s sake.

Hide glue will work just fine. It’s what piano keys are glued down with. Have you experimented with bending it?
A bunch of 5” long binding pieces will look unusual.

Bends real easy after a little time in water. I’m not worried about unusual, but I think with scarfed ends they’ll probably come out okay. Thanks for the input!

[Carl Dickinson]

Alternate with pieces from the black keys. That would be unusual!

Fish glue is commonly used to glue bone, pearl and metal to wood. It's stickier och not as brittle as hot hide glue.

Thanks!

All.

When the demand for ivory stops so too will the killing of animals for their tusks.  You might like to think of that before you advocate ( by using Ivory) for its use in our trade.  
Please note,  our business policies and personal beliefs/moral compass is firmly fixed, so do not see this post as an invitation to disagree - Animals do not have internet accounts so we are putting the case for them.
