At the Saratoga show last weekend, I shared with Dirk & Karen Boelman and Carole Rothman a tool one of the Sawdust & Woodchips Woodworking Association members created to facilitate gluing. It is called the Mikey Roller over coat the roller. [You can test roll!] Roll the light coat of glue on the fret-cut surface and then place your fretwork where needed. Once the glue dries, it will peal off the pipe insulation so the roller can be used over and over again. Eventually you will probably have to replace the roller cover but you will have plenty left over from your first cutting!
Another tipTable Salt to prevent movement! Sprinkle a little table salt onto one or both surfaces to prevent movement when clamping.
Note ... One of our members also purchased other various sized rollers at a local dollar store and tested gluing with them. It is entirely possible to use them. Remember, the dollar store has many, many things that can be used by every woodworker if you think outside the box!
