 | Applying a top? Ok a question for the resident Luthiers. How do you guys securely apply a top? I'm doing one and I would like some advice before I just start glueing and clamping things. Thanks Seth "I'd rather believe in Jedi then "The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree" - Desecrated  |

  | I'm no luthier, (Yet.) but as far as I know, that's all they do. You've got your head down You've got your eyes closed You look so pitiful now Your body encrusted with ash Breath heavy with toxins Hair singed and matted Clothes frayed and burnt You are left with nothing |

| Make sure both surfaces are planed absolutely smooth to maximize the glue contact area, make sure the surfaces are clean and dry, use a good wood glue (and not too much of it) and lots of clamps. This space intentionally left blank. |

| Applying a veneer (which is paper thin) and applying a top (which is usually 3/8" or thicker) are totally different projects. |

| A lot of people these days use vacuum bags instead of clamps for even pressure all over when applying veneers and stuff. It would be a bit expensive for a one-off project though. |
