<p>I tried to add a picture with the last comment, but it didn't go through either. I am well under 5MB.</p>
<p>When I select "Browse" and then open the image in my file, it says IMG_2882.JPG next to the "Browse."</p>
<p>Am I doing something wrong? This has worked for me in the past. So, one last try.</p>

<p>I use 2 of the Stew Mac soundhole clamps for the wings, with small individual cauls carved to fit the wings.</p>
<p>It sounds complicated, but with everything In place, I use a hot air gun to warm the top and the bridge, and can get it all clamped up before the HHG begins to gel.</p>
<p>Hope I am not "teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs".</p>
