I just cut the binding channel for my latest project, which I want to bind with sycamore. Last time I did this, I used titebond and it worked fine, but it sealed the wood so that the finish didn't uniformly penetrate the wood in some spots near the binding. I couldn't tell this was going to happen because I sanded carefully after doing the binding and did not see traces left of the glue. I am not using any stain and the finish will be clear. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know most folks don't approve of the liquid hide glue, but I wonder if it might work okay for this purpose. Titebond makes a liquid hide glue and even recommends it for musical instruments. Maybe the bad rep came from the Franklin brand?
Thanks!
