<p>Worked out fine, Titebond did the trick, with masking tape to clamp it on, then some weight to make sure all is flat.</p>

<p>Thanks, Frank, looks like Titebond it is .. easy enough to work with. I've learned to avoid using the white binding cement on vintage instruments, since I've had a bad experience with 'melting' original finish when re-gluing some loose binding.</p>

<p>I generally advise not to "clean up" the old gluing surface, because I've found that celluloid is successfully RE-glued with standard Titebond if there are still remnants of the old glue and particles of substrate imbedded.</p>

<p> I'd avoid solvent glues, except for the white binding cement from LMI or StewMac. The idea is to try to avoid adding any more solvent, which tends to accelerate the decomposition of old celluloid.</p>
