This morning I was able to remove the binding tape to see how the job had gone. Very well, I am happy to report. Today i mixed white glue with the appropriate sawdust to fill those tiny random openings between the binding and the body, sanded them flush when dried and now they are invisible. I fit the end strip and glued it in and did a lot of sanding and some scraping with a sharp scraper, and this uke is looking ready for the next stage, The fret board and the heel cap.
