Glued butt straps for the right half of Hatseflats. This meant I had to glue the butt straps on the blank sides of the panels. First I had the panels with the pencilled side up and stapled them to a temporary backing plate. Then I added a layer of plastic and stapled another backing plate in position. This backing plate stays in place until the epoxy has cured. Next I turned the panel around and made it ready to receive the butt strap.
