<p>Thanks Mark , I have a damp sponge inside today , I think it might reduce the impact , and I'll ask the owner if he can go with a cleat .</p>

<p>It sounds fairly stable and minor. Your initial plan seems safe and will probably be effective. I am assuming you are going to put the Titebond on the unfinished inside surface, if you say the finish on the outside is actually intact. Maybe dilute the glue a bit with water?</p>

<p>Hi Mark , I tried water on the back and possibly naphtha , the crack is not through the lacquer or even the wood .</p>

<p>It can be hard to know if it extends all the way through. Do you know the trick of putting a small pool of naptha (Shellite to us Aussies) on the outside and inspecting for a wet patch on the inside with a mirror? This will often reveal that it is a true full thickness crack, which might then merit a cleat</p>

<p>Its not dry , but i'll attempt to swell it with water . My computer won't select an image ! This guitar is so perfect its hard to add a cleat , even right at the back , but maybe a stitch in time saves 9 . Im thinking that CA would suck in better but may show through to the back , thoughts ?</p>

<p>Pics would really help to determine a fix. Compress the pictures to website size. They should load then.</p>
<p>Before any attempt of a fix, humidify it.</p>

<p> Nice that it's been caught while not all the way through. Sure, the plan sounds right ...and maybe a few "insurance cleats" couldn't hurt, either.</p>
