Adhesives

Welcome to the wonderful world of adhesives! Whether you’re replacing pads, felts, corks, adjustment materials or stabilizers, repairing cases, or filling cracks in wood or plastic, specifically formulated adhesives are critical to achieving professional results. We do extensive testing on all manner of adhesives (old and new) in our workshop and we only sell the products that meet or exceed our own professional demands. If we don’t love it, we don’t sell it. We offer a wide selection of the highest-quality products available to suit all applications, techniques, and working styles.

Once upon a time, instrument repair artisans were limited to shellacs and a few animal based adhesives for everything that required bonding. Today’s modern technician is faced with exactly the opposite situation: an overwhelming (and often confusing) wealth of high quality adhesives with a wide variety of very specific characteristics and applications. What remains the same between then and now is that no matter how great the master, the repair is only ever as reliable as the adhesives that are employed.

That’s why we go to such great lengths to seek out and exhaustively test all manner of adhesives and why we only offer the very best of them to our customers. Whether it’s Barge Cement, Duall, Duco, Threadlocker or any other, the cements we offer are strictly professional grade and not to be confused or compared with products from the same brands offered at ordinary hardware stores.
