shoulder brace mess up?

Post by Paul C » Mon Oct 29, 2012 8:06 am

I accidently glued my shoulder brace on while it was in the go bar deck. I did not glue popsicle or sound holes on yet. I hope I have not ruined it. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

Are you saying you were using some sort of radius dish in the GB deck and now have a distorted sound-board?

Lets see a picture with a straight edge laying across the top of the sound board at the shoulder brace location.

That should be OK -- you made the rim top slope using the Mega Mold right?
