jlneng -> RE: go bar deck vs. clamps (Jul. 2 2012 18:39:08)

Hello all, As I use LMI white glue in lieu of hot hide glue, I have to leave the work piece clamped for awhile. I dome the tops on my flamenco guitars about 2.5 mm. When I used to use weights, I never quite got the 2.5 mm. With the go bars, I don't have to worry about the top rebounding while the glueis hardening. One thing to be aware of is to not use so much force that you imprint the top with the braces. I also found that the go bars, when used with a radius dish, work great for bracing the back. I just finished gluing the seven fan braces on a flamenco today. It took me about an hour....measure three times, cut once...... John
