Earlier in the week I had attached the first part of the backdrop to the supports.  This sheet (plus another 19″ from another sheet) were installed with the glossy side facing the Marigny River side. A 2nd sheet will be laminated with its’ glossy side facing the Elmwood side.

Once done attaching to the supports, it was pretty sturdy and not going anywhere.

The next step was to laminate the second sheet, and I started that this morning.  I used a small paint roller brush to apply Gorilla Wood Glue to an entire 8′x1′ section, and then clamped it in place. I used 1×2 garden stakes for some bracing, and small nails to push the bottom of the brace into the backdrop (like the MRR project did).

I’ll let this sit for a good 24-48 hours at least before removing the clamps.
