No need, i'll just grab a spare from the fridge and use that. He gets a tad acerbic when you tear them off, it makes a neat re-attachment job so much more difficult.
IN terms of the veneers, I am going to glue them up as an assembly first, clamped flat between two thick, waxed pieces of MDF.
Hopefully this will keep them flat. I want to try and dowel locate the HS to the Neck blank through them as well, to prevent everything slipping about under clamp load (This was a bugbear in the initial glue up and probably cost me 3-4mm in depth of the full blank evening both sides out).
We shall see. IGOR! Fetch the CLAMPS!
