Resonator assembly

Well I do have a lot to show today. Now it's time for the backs to go onto the resos. 

I took a few minutes to superglue some tiny bits of kerfed lining around the perimeter of the bodies, to stop the backs from sliding around in the glue. I haven't done this in ages but it is very good practice to do it. 


Then spread the glue. I'm using my finger though sometimes I use a tiny rubber roller. 


After both have glue I sandwich them together with a thick piece of foam between. 


The foam will even out and distribute the pressure. The nice thing about resos is they're flat and so sturdy - they can handle some serious clamping. 


I even rememered to clean up some squeeze out from the insides. I'm not bothered by a little glue but I know others are. So I thought why not.
