Advice needed for loose binding please

Hi guys. A section of binding on my old Guild acoustic has separated from the fingerboard and I just want to know what type of glue is best to fix it.

I was going to just use a dab of superglue but I don’t want to cause any problems further down the line when it needs refretting or if it comes away again.

What’s the correct procedure? Seems like something I can do myself.

    I always use UHU Hart cement for binding it's about £4 a tube and is celluloid safe

    Make sure you get all the old crud out before re-gluing as glue doesn't really like to stick to glue,also don't use to much glue and make sure you use some good tape to mask off the neck/board and to hold the piece in place while it drys.

    If it fits back in place neatly as it is then use superglue.  If not, clean out the glue and use weld on plastic cement or similar
