Mike,

As you have thought already, you don't really want to add extra thickness under the paper. Blues Creek John and myself both sell pressure adhesive paper for these dishes. Tracy at LutheirSuppliers may as well. Once you have the paper on it last a LONG time and you can cover it with a sheet of thin plastic or news paper when you want you the dish in your go-bar deck.

Another way to radius the bottom of your bridge is to sand the radius of top dish onto a scrap of wood, like a chunk of dry 2x4. Now you have the the convex radius of the concave radius of your dish. Glue a piece of sandpaper to that piece of sandpaper to that chunk of wood and you now have a small sanding block to concave radius the bottom of your bridge.

I have included a 3A top with your bracewood billets, I will send an invoice soon!

Thanks

Shane
