I WILL finish the harp by Christmas!!!!!! A project I started two years ago is next up on the "must finish" list. I need to figure out how to fix a goof, though.
I glued in a loose tenon on a curved surface using Gorilla glue, held in place with the heaviest rubber bands I could find. Never having used Gorilla glue before, I didn't realize the power of the expanding foam. The end result is a slightly less than 1/8" gap where it should not be. I can't remove the gap, so I need to highlight it. I am familiar with the concept of Inlace type products, but have never used them. I don't want to make the mistake I made with Gorilla glue - using a product for the first time on an important piece - so I am looking for some hints. Is this product as "foolproof" as the blurbs make it sound? I will definitely practice on scrap first, but sure could use some guidance as to favored products, tips on use, etc.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
