A nice selection of Martin Binding.
We start by taping the flat strip in place.
All the way around the perimeter and lightly taped and trimmed,
Using aheat gun, we set the binding to a shape.
Removing the tape, you can see the binding has held some of the guitars form.
Duco cement I find works best..
Push some cement into the cleaned recess..
Spread it thin using finger.
This first step, I have started tute from, it assumes the binding has been removed and surface prepared.
