I recently noticed an odd trend in several pots I've built lately. The call will sound great using a certain area of the call surface, then sound terrible on another...sometimes really high and screechy, sometimes very low and flat. For example, the call might play great from 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock, then is high and screechy around the rest of the call surface.
I've got a few theories as to why this is happening:
1)I recently switched from liquid nails to e6000. I don't think I've seen this issue with liquid nails.
2)I'm not getting a solid bead of glue all the way around the lip of the call surface
3)I'm not getting a solid bead gluing the soundboard to the pedestal. To clarify, I've noticed that my soundboards are taking an excessively long period of time to set up. In checking whether the glue has setup, I'm likely creating gaps in the glue bead.
I'm curious to hear thoughts on this, especially if anybody has encountered and fixed this problem themselves. Thanks!
