Glue on the bottom.
Lightly sand the top.
Glue the radio box top on.
This is the 1/8 inch Birch top.
Take a break for a few minutes, so that the radio
box glue joints can cure.
Using 80 grit, sand the overhang on the top and
bottom so that it’s flush with the sides.
Sand the top with 180 or 220 grit paper on a block.
Carefully remove the lid from the 1/8 ply radio box
top.
Sand the edges smooth.
Glue the 1/8 ply top to the radio box.
It has a slightly larger hole for the lid, so try to
center it so that the “lip” is even all around.
Make sure that you don’t get any glue in the “lip”, as
it will interfere with the way the lid seats.
Sand the entire box with 180.
Stand back and admire your awesome radio box!
