ziricote gluing HELP

[scuffle]

Hey guys,

just wondering if there is any sort of special gluing technique i have to use when gluing ziricote? the last fretboard i glued on was ziricote and i used titebond original. I have just have to remove it (because of silly mistakes while carving the neck) and it popped off quite easily and cleanly. I am about to re glue it to a new neck but I wanted to check if titebond is good enough.
i know with cocobolo you have to use epoxy. Is ziricote the same?

I used titebond on a Ziricote OM and had no issues, i just made sure i gave it a good wipe with shellite before i glued. Wayne

i also give a good wipe with shellite before gluing i think ill use epoxy so i dont get any headaches in the future
thanks for the help

I've used Ziricote several times and just used F9 yellow glue as normal, so Titebond will work no problem.

Wiping with solvent before gluing is not universally accepted.
Many feel that it just mobilises the oils in the timber rather than removing them.
Personally, I just scrape immediately before gluing to have a fresh surface with a lot of surface energy and apply glue or epoxy to both surfaces.

For oily woods like Cocobolo and Zircote I've used Titebond. Only joint that's failed has been one I wiped with acetone as per recommendation. Turns out that just as Jeff said, oils get pulled out and go everywhere. Now it's just a clean scrape just prior to glueing.

I do not recommend using titebond with Cocobolo. It's so oily that its virtually waterproof. It's too much of a gamble, thus anytime I use Coco I use epoxy.

Ziricote, Bocote and similar are nowhere near as oily as Coco and can be treated as per the norm.
