My D18 was purchased by me brand new in October, 2012 and it has been kept properly hydrated all the time I’ve owned it. The binding-separation problem only began to show in 2021 - nine years after the guitar was built. I regard Peter’s suggested time-frame of two years before self-congratulations begin on a ‘fix’ as perfectly reasonable.
