Did the glue up of the Bamboo Backing to the Ipe tonight. Applied a decent amount of Smooth-On to both surfaces, Wrapped in cellophane.

Then I tightly wrapped it in bicycle innertube "Rubberbands". Clamped as much of the length as I could.

Take a peek.

Hey Chris I can't tell from the picture but did you leave any gaps in the innertube for the excess glue to ooz out??  Looking good so far.

The last thing I expected to see on Tradgang was a recumbent trike.  How's the bow coming along?
