Technical data: The traditional Spanish luthier method for gluing classical guitar tops is to use a series of clamping springs. (see pictures). Summit Tools has designed an improved version of the springs providing optimal pressure in the vertical direction. This specially treated wire spring has a geometric design and a diameter of 4mm. Overall dimensions are approximately 165 x 120mm with a weight of 35g.
In situation when a large and long surface has to be glued before the glue starts drying, the solution are presented spring clamps. Easier than you think, you need a good preparation phase , especially for repair jobs we recommend a dry test – no glue applied, try the process, see eventual weak spots.
With SUMMIT® Fast Spring Gluing Clamps gluing tops or backs is fast and accurate, with maximal control. Efficiency pays off the costs, with first build or/and repair. The method accelerates the working proceeding and gives you more spare time.
