<p>I ended up using Titebond Melamine glue which is made for bonding wood to various laminates including HPL. Melamine glue is similar to roo glues clear that someone else recommend to me. It worked well. By the way I contacted Martin previous to this repair and finally got an answer today from them on what glue they use. A little late but good to know for future references. 3M Scotchweld epoxy....Mike</p>

<p>No I didn't take any pics because its not anything special. Its a clean break. It would be easy to take care of if it was wood but since its not I'm trying to figure out what glue martin uses. Most laminate type of glues are contact cements that give you a one time shot at assembly. That's not good for guitar repair. Sometimes you need a little working time with alignment. And contacts don't give you that. Mike</p>

<p>Hi Michael-- do you have any pics of the box?? the only thing that I know of (from my counter building days)</p>
<p>is to use a glue that is made for bonding lam. to wood. It comes in a non toxic water base glue so the dangers of using it</p>
<p>are not like the type that is used in counter top shops.</p>
<p>good luck with your project..</p>
<p>Peace, Donald</p>
