Bruce	Re: doing corners with tolex... Titebond is great stuff but takes a long time to tack down. It's also not my choice for Tweeds because all the water seems to leach through and discolor the good finish side. Corners are a bitch using anything less then good contact cement. A small can of good contact cement, a few solder brushes, a handfull of NEW single edged razor blades and an old hair dryer is paramount to covering cabs and getting nice tight mitered corners.
