These timber purflings are flexible so they can be glued in place without pre bending. The purflings can be doubled up to give wider combinations eg-
2 x black/white purflings to form a 4 ply black/white/black/white
or
1 black/white and 1 black/white/black to form a 5 ply purfling
Purflings are used inside the binding on a guitar as extra decoration, normally the purflings are arranged so that there is a black layer against a light coloured top, back or binding and a white layer against a dark back, top or binding. These purflings can be glued in place using a wood glue like Titebond.
