Gluing Top Braces - Part 2

I started the portable humidifier on Saturday. It took two days to get the humidity back up in the 40%, but for the past three days it has been consistently around 43-45%... which is perfect for gluing. So tonight, I glued the 3 sound hole braces, the 4 finger braces, and the small patch over the X brace joint. And just like last time, I ran out of go-bar sticks... will have to wait until tomorrow night to finish.
Only thing left to glue on the top is the 2 tone bars and the bridge patch (see first picture). But prior to gluing the bridge patch, I need to make a clamping caul for it.
