Hello all you people out in Mando Land!
My instrument, a used 1998 Kentucky KM200S, came with a cheap chipboard case. I don't have any $$ to replace it right now, so I am shoring it up with stuff I mostly already have. I'm making some padding out of some packing foam, a 1" thick piece around the bottom of the case, and some layers of thin white foam around the sides and on the top. I have some stretchy crushed velveteen material to line it with, and plan on making a strap out of velcro to hold the neck in place on the little wooden box type compartment. I have some 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive I was planning to use to secure the fabric to the foam and the foam to the case.
Suddenly I became worried about using that glue inside a case. The fabric is pretty thin. Any chance it could outgas and damage my mandolin? Or will it be inert enough after it dries?
I appreciate any input from you more knowledgeable folks!
Take it easy!
Sue
