Hi all. As we here in my part of the world enter a colder season, inside activitys become more atractive.
Many of you know I bought a pair of 4343B's from Guido. These where originally in the Studio Gray finish, later painted black. Now I have finaly managed to order real American walnut venieer? for the boxes, and got my hands on solid American walnut wood for the edges. (And yes...I got the dark blue cloth for the grills. Thank you Guidohttp://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/applaud.gif ).
The venieer is about 1mm thick and there is a kind of fabric on the back, so it should be much easyer to apply to the boxes.
What I need to know is what type of glue to use on the venieer. I know I can use "contact glue"?, the one you put on both sides, wait until dry, and put on.
BUT: this gives me only ONE shot!http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/banghead.gif Is there another glue to recommend for this? I am thinking about something you put on, and maybe after drying use a iron to make it fit.
Anybody have experience with this?http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/blink.gif
For the outer frames I will get a local shop to make them right.http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
I will put pictures as the project moving on.
