OctoberBass RCA-4 First Build

[OctoberBassRCA-4]

So can I ask how much Titebond Red Label glue is required to glue in the set neck. I'm ready, 34" from inside nut to 3/4 forward saddle (G string) position. Do I slather it on? Will it seep all out if I do? Or do I apply... how much? Once I apply the glue, adjust the clamps, and string the cord, fishing line, etc... do I have time to adjust the neck to proper position before I clamp down the neck? The neck tongue and neck pocket has been taped off so raw wood will be glued. This is one of the most crucial process in the build. Just want to make it right.

Didn't see this earlier OBR. you want to have a good even film over the pocket and the neck tenon.
You will be able to adjust once you get it in, so you can adjust placement as you go to clamp it down.

Have some damp rag or lint free cloth handy as you are going to get some squeeze out, a small flat ended scraper can also help (cut an end off an old plastic credit card or something similar, they work well to get excess squeeze out off without wood damage).

Once you are satisfied with the position, cinch down your clamps, recheck position, clean off any remaining squeeze out, then walk away and have a coffee/tea/beer/wine/shot, pat yourself on the back for a job well done, and come back and see it tomorrow!
