| I know you already know this, but it really pays to clamp the whole back up dry, in good light, so you can verify that everything CAN be pulled tight. Then when all is right, you can release one section at a time, beginning with the blocks, and work glue into the joint without allowing anything else to move. Replace the clamps and move on to the next section.
Jim Ham puts the glue on both surfaces, and allows it to dry hard. then he clamps everything correctly,and takes his steamer, and goes around the joints-- the steam re-constitutes the glue, and allows the clamps to pull the last tiny gaps out. When it dries, it is all done. I tried this on a violin, and evidently did something wrong-- steamed it too long, or something-- when I was done, there was no glue left in the joint... I may not have had enough to begin with, or may have washed it out with excessive steam. I may try it again someday.
Good luck, my friend. |
