No offense taken, ! I have no explanation why CA doesn't seem to hold ply, lawd knows I've tried especially with new ARFs to augment their hot melt/oddball glues. Same with my buds, but epoxy and aliphatics work great. I've seen great differences in the strength of our hobby epoxies vs. the commercial grades.

My my recall is a luthier is a stringed-instrument maker. I could be wrong, it happened once. I think. Lol
