Bridge glue?

I've got an acoustic that the bridge is starting to pull off. Any suggestions on what kind/type/brand of glue to use for that?

Thx

yeah pretty much any wood glue is fine. hide glue is the traditional way to go but its kinda a pita

Titebond. Wayne Henderson in VA builds some of the very best acoustics; he's built over 350, including two for Eric Clapton, and he's used Titebond for every glue joint on every one of them.

I use Titebond for all my woodglue-ing needs. remember to apply pressure either by clamping or by using weights.

x3 on Titebond

I just glued a poplar dowel into a piece of purpleheart with this, and now it's all "AS ONE" - safe for drilling, routing and such without fear of shattering or fragmentation.

How do I know?

I drilled it. It machines just like wood. Highly recommended.
