Gluing the Back Panel

To glue the back panel in place, the book I am following recommended using a thick rubber strip that is long enough to wrap around the body of the guitar to provide uniform pressure all the way around.  Since I don't have such a strip and could not find one, I did it with clamps.  I practiced with a dry fit to see if the clamps would work and it seemed like it was okay.  So I spread glue on all the kerfing and clamped it in place.  I just did this a few minutes ago and so I hope I don't have any surprises when it is dry.

A couple of my clamps don't have soft rubber pads and so I put some scrap would in to protect the back panel.
