I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Strips with the string. I think that this is going to work.

OK, now the lines on the front of the board come into play. Using the Olfa cutter and straight-edge, I sliced the paper and string into 3/32" strips.

GLue applied and waiting for it to dry. It will all flatten out.

Thinned Titebond glue (didn't have any Elmers white glue) brushed over the thread and paper. Not to liberally!

Even though I struck out on my quest for Nitrate dope in SF, I did find this pure cotton 3/0 machine thread. It is supposed to absorb aliphatic glue better than other (rayon) threads.

Next, laid some 50# bond paper over the parchament. I think that next time I will use standard 20# paper. Can you see where I'm heading?

Covered the face of the board with parchament paper to prevent glue sticking to it.

I feel like a cobbler. Small brads driven into the edge of the board at every other 3/32" mark.

Defaced the fine looking board with some lines: 3/32" on both faces.

SO, I make the two hour trip to Sioux Falls yesterday to take the wife to a Mall and I can visit the one Hobby Shop that is still open within a 150 mile radius. TUrns out that there is nice young guy managing it now but when I pointed out that he was out of Nitrate Dope, he wanted to know if that was a brand name or the name of it's manufacturer (sigh). We are truly dinosaurs. At least Drodak & Sig are still around.
