Martin D16RGT with back seam split

[thefishinmusician]

I got one of these in the other day with the entire back seam split and the top is also split behind the bridge....They mate up with no gap...The top is gloss , and I can probably get by using water thin , but the back is matte....Any ideas ?

[Paul Breen]

Sounds like a job for hot hide glue to me...

[thefishinmusician]

Will that work on a previously glued joint ?

[Greg Mirken]

Either hide glue or Titebond will work fine. 'Course if it gets dried out again it will reopen. Oh, and check the ends of the back braces. I find they are often loose on cases like this.

Thank you for the reminder , Greg !
