Step 4 Backing the Cases

This is probably the second most difficult step.

The MDF serves two purposes: 1, to keep the cases perfectly aligned, and 2, to hold the mounted spring in place.

Place the cases on top of the laminated MDF and trace its shape. I used a miter saw to cut out the shape I wanted, a razor should work too. Now you should have the backing and the cases. The backing should fit perfectly on the the back of the DVD.

Using tin foil as a mixing plate, stir together the remaining epoxy. Using a new piece of cardboard smear the epoxy onto the NON laminated side of the MDF. Make sure it is completely covered, you may want to put excess epoxy along the edges.

You will then want to take some PL glue, and put it along the caverns of the spine's backsides. This will assure a solid and sturdy structure.

Now you will need to use the clamps to make sure that the backing sticks on the spines. I used four different ones, but it shouldn't matter as long as it all lines up.

You can never have enough clamps in your toolkit.
