This procedure is becoming very easy. I used a chisel to get the angles close, then sanded with a block using 80, then 150 grit. I checked the angles and made sure I had enough clamps. I had to cut two cauls for the glue. Lucky I did a dry run. I spread the glue with a flux brush. They work great and they are cheap. Bag of 50 for about $7. When I went to spread he glue, a red color came from the brush. I saw it before, but thought it was just the color of the bristles. I hurried and rubbed the red marks off, then applied more glue. What was it? I don't know, but it made the brush red. I hope it doesn't affect the glue joint. Lesson: make sure your brushes and anything used in gluing is clean. If this joint fails after I string up the guitar, I will be very pissed. The clamping went good.
