The Real Binding...

This is pretty straight forward. Just need to be really careful you keep the router flat.
I started on the back - just in case there was something unforseen....

As you can see, the maple top got much more router 'burn' than the ash.

Attaching the binding requires quite a bit of focus. The glue dries fast - so you have to place the piece, hold it in place and at the same time tape it down firmly...

I also used a couple of clamps in spots to really make sure the binding was seating properly.

For tricky areas, you can hold the binding in place with your fingers. If you hold it super tight for 90 secs, once you release it will probably be firm enough to stay in place. The glue is amazing!

I trimmed the binding overhang with a sharp blade - I just carefully sliced it back - almost level with the wood. This also cleans up much of the glue that spills out too.

I will finally make the binding flush by sanding. All areas around the binding need to be sanded flush (including the sides of the guitar).
