lifting / warped face
Hi Everyone,
I have a Syrian made oud suitable for an intermediate player and had noticed the face had a slight warp. Following a flight from US to UK (I had to
wrap and box the oud and put it in the hold thanks to UK travel rules at the time) the face has started to lift. I assume this was mainly due to to
the temeperature and humidity in the hold. I will make a glue repair to the 10cm or so that has lifted. Any suggestions for what type of glue I should
use? What else do I need to bear in mind?

use cooked hide glue, not the liquid stuff. If you can't deal with it, use yellow carpenter's glue (aliphatic resin), indoor version.
DO NOT USE: crazy glue, resorcinol glue, white polyvinyl glue, cement of any kind, or epoxy.
