Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Question: When I worked in a guitar repair shop in the '80s the tech would mist the wood with water before gluing and clamping. He swore this made a much stronger repair, since the glue would seep into the pores of the wood. Since he was repairing high end instruments, I believe him -- but adhesives have changed a lot since then. Is lightly dampening the wood still a good idea?
