We can add the next piece, being careful to get white next to black, and keep moving.



and we will keep going until we get close to the recurve. (Hey, I know some people call it the notch area...I call it the recurve.)



For now we'll leave this area unglued. We are going to have to set up some clamps to get the plastic to conform to this tight readius.

Sometimes I wonder if that sharp radius had something to do with the softening of the recurve and elimination of the "notch" back in the olden days. I know that goes against the CW...but maybe...just maybe...

But back to the Emeraldcaster...

We'll head the other from the bottom of the guitar and work our way up to the horn.



For right now, we will keep the glue well clear of this area. Taping the plastic down good and tight will start to train it where it needs to go.

Then we will just set everything aside to dry for a while.



In a bit we will take off the tape and finish off those two difficult areas.

As Arnold used to say, "I'll be back!"
