Bottom line, for any technique used, I would do a test p…

While Charlie was working on this build, I was trying to come up with a good way to hand laminate the channel. The standard recommendation from several members has been to use spray adhesive to tack the dry cloth to the channel walls. The biggest drawback to that method is find…
