Avoid thin watery CA alone on large seams — it runs before wetting the full dovetail/T&G. Gel CA or epoxy fills the 0.15–0.2 mm glue gap. Optional: CA activator on one face for gel CA; mix epoxy thoroughly. Dry-fit FIRST: 1. Dry-assemble all 6 base tiles (00–12) — dovetails should seat with a light friction / slight play from the glue gap. Confirm outer outline. 2. Dry-assemble all 6 lid tiles + check gold rim/logo pieces seat cleanly (gold never touches gold — ≥2 mm gap is designed in). 3. Dry-fit base∪lid closed; confirm latch and hinge pin alignment. 4. Number tiles with tape matching plate labels before gluing. Glue order: A. BASE shell - Glue wall dovetails + floor T&G of one seam at a time (work row-wise: 00–01, then 02–10, then 11–12; then join the three pairs). - Wipe squeeze-out from the nest pocket immediately — cured epoxy in the nest ruins the ~1 mm clearance. - Clamp flat on a true surface (glass/PEI sheet) with even pressure across seams. Protect finish with painter's tape / parchment. - Cure per adhesive (gel CA: minutes; epoxy: follow pot life, often fixture 30–60 min, full strength overnight). B. LID shell - Same order for black lid tiles; glue dovetails + wide T&G laps. - Keep the lid TOP face clean — no glue on the gold border / logo seating faces. Glue gold accents after the black lid is cured, or print them multi-color in-place (AMS) so no gold glue step. - Clamp lid flat; protect gold faces. C. HARDWARE - Insert printed hinge pins through base/lid hinge knuckles. - Install latch; verify open/close and that nested saap clears lid. Clamp & cure tips: - Light clamp pressure — crush will close the designed glue gap and starve the joint. Aim for even bead along the dovetail. - Support full span; do not cantilever half the shell while curing. - For stage transport strength: let epoxy reach full cure (≥24 h) before loading the lid with the saap in a bag/vehicle.
