what glue for MOP?
On my beloved old lacquer Mullen 1 of the Mother of Pearl stripes in front has come loose about 8-10 inches long area. These inlays are very close fitting, so wonder if anyone can tell me what is the best glue to use to put it back right. And any helpful advise for doing it right. ..
Thanks, and Happy & Blessed New Year to all

Stan,
Whatever you do, do NOT let your MOP get close to ordinary household cement (in the old days called airplane glue.) It will literally dissolve the MOP. If the glue has the strong odor of banana oil (like fingernail polish) don't use it with MOP.

Hey, thanks everybody. Gives me some good ideas to work from. And Roy, thanks for keeping me out of the airplane glue. I'll need a clear head for this. Anybody know where this UHU stuff can be found? I headn't seen it before; is it a crafty type glue?
And Bent or any of you guys who build guitars, chime right in there.
Thanks again

Thanks every body for the input. ..I guess I just presumed everybody would know we were talking about the plastic type stripe of MOP; I should have made that clear. Anyway, I probably will give Mullen a call, shoulda thought of that before. ...Happy & Blessed New Year everybody
