Gluing the Rib Linings
Below Ben is preparing to glue the rib linings for the lower bout on the backside of the violin. The two C bouts and upper bout are already glued.
The glue is applied to the lining with a brush.
The lining is sandwiched between a plastic inner strip and an outer strip to which pressure is applied using 19mm clamps.
The lower bouts require about a dozen and a half clamps spaced tightly together to keep the lining tightly shaped to the original rib curve.
