Luthiers and Repair Guys: Does This Product Look Cool To You?

I could use this to control the amount of crackle on a crackle finish, For example you could lay down your glue then burst in with the glueboost then follow with paint. Or in any other area you want the paint to react different with the glue.

Just thinking out loud here sorry.

MY876 -

Don't pay him any mind...

You're young (According to your profile) and you probably have had to do minor repair using glue - I'm taking a wild guess at your skill level but at your level of experience conservative is best. You might even be more into woodworking than I was - or even apprenticing in a repair shop, so I can be wrong about you.

I don't know the poster's street cred either. He might be an excellent tech/luthier for all I know. Or vice versa.

Heck - I'm 45 and have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and I got yelled at by some self proclaimed guitar tech in the last year on how not to cut off screws. You did not get out of the school I went to without some hands on coursework with machine tools. Don Teeter and Dan Erlewine probably got the same on some of their techniques. I'm also getting wiser in that its cheaper in the long run to let someone else to the hard jobs. It took a long time, DUH! ;-) LOL

Thanks man.

My skill level is making full guitars from scratch. I make nuts out of raw material, I make single-action truss rods, I make necks and do all the shaping work, all the routing, everything but pickups (which I really want to make as well but my dad doesn't think it is worth it due to the cost of copper magnet wire, and doesn't think it is good to use a drill press as a winder. He really gives the "ok go" for things like that so...), tuning pegs, bridges, vibrato systems, locking nuts, frets, and electronics such as pots/wire etc. All of these I don't make myself for obvious reasons: most people don't because of the work and tools needed costing way more than the actual product.

I'll need to update my build threads. I'm not the best at keeping up with them because the camera on my phone is crap and I don't like using it, along with uploading them from my "dumb-phone" being a PITA,
