The top on this old Yamaha popped right off the kerfing. The purfling came with it, but the binding stayed put. This was a pretty simple repair job: Just separate it enough to get glue in there and clamp it back down. The second picture below shows a dry clapping setup. I ended up using some cauls to spread the clamping pressure more evenly.
The little bits of wood show how far the crack traveled. The jack knife was to separate the a rack while I slid glue in.
Without cauls but basically how I clamped it.
The white clear glue is from where they originally glued the kerfing on. The yellows glue on the top left by the x brace is the squeeze out from my repair.
