Ok, glueing in braces in my awesome go bar deck and radius dish (hehe). Anyways, seems to be working. I'm starting to figure out that there are many ways to do this and that the ultimate decider on my methods will be what I hear and feel on the other side!
Guess what else I learned: having a back that is too thin, making all sorts of minor adjustments and fixes because of that (backstrip alignment, cutting out shape too close to one edge, not fixing blemishes because it's already too thin etc etc) just leads to a likely meltdown at some point, as evidenced by the failed back you see here! I put so much EXTRA work into this because it was borderline and then it broke from very little disturbance (it was as thin as 0.06" in some spots.....I know!). So I don't think I'll try to make somethjng borderline work again. I'll just get it right from the start
