The repair of Rogers reinforcement rings Part 2

The mission was started!

This is the batter-side's reinforcement ring.

The cut ends are hitting each other!

I couldn't glue it with this situation.

So, I prepared for the thin file.

I cut the bothering cut end carefully.

(I knew that the reinforcement ring of Rogers is very hard!)

Let's glue it at last.

Put the shell between the rulers.

Then, it is clamped.

Incidentally, I used the "Titebond".

On the other hand, this is the snare-side's reinforcement ring.

Wow, it is short of a part of the ply!

I couldn't glue it with this situation.

So,,,

I cut a wood chip for that hole.

This is a whole view.

Enlarged

Wood chip is a little large.

But, this is shaved later.

Just like this, let's dry it for several weeks.

To be continued... ;-)
