Please dont use wax paper. You don't want wax anywhere near your wood!

I use it all the time. No wax transfer occurs when using waxed paper. You can even bake with it, and wax does not transfer to the food. I see no issues. Many folks use waxed gluing cauls so the glue will not stick. No issues that I know of.

You can easily test this for yourself. Fold a piece of wax paper and slide a facial tissue into the fold, so that half the tissue is exposed to the wax paper. Iron with a clothes iron on high heat- high enough to soften glue. Check for any difference between the tissue exposed to wax, and the half that was outside.

Wax paper at room temperature is another matter entirely- I use it a lot. BTW, clear packing tape also makes a good non-stick coating for gluing cauls- epoxy will not stick to it.

With the rosette already installed, a rejoint will not work. The top may be toast. Sorry

Hockey sock tape works great as well. No glue sticks to it that I've found. Cheap too. I bought 8 rolls at Costco for less than $5.00

Hockey sock tape?

I guess it's a Canadian and Northern States thing Dave.

Once you get your knee pads on and the socks over top, standard procedure is to give an upper and lower wrap of stretchy poly tape to hold things in place.

I sat and stared at it for a while last night and then realized that I would always be concerned about it if I used it, so I decided to cut and rejoin. There will be enough leeway to change plans and use it for a smaller Torres body instead of the larger Rodriguez that was intended. I can rerout for a rosette and the only thing different that I will have to do is bind the soundhole. That leaves me needing to buy a soundboard. The ones I have been using have been in my shop for years. If I buy a soundboard now, how long should it be in my shop before I can work with it? Thanks for all your help so far. Wendy
