How much thickness does tolex add?

[tommy d]

I made a back panel for an amp and I think I may have a done a nice job on exactly the wrong thickness wood. I was going to order the fender tolex and water-based glue from Mojo, if that helps.

Thanks

The thickness would depend somewhat on the style of covering you pick. The smooth would be thinner than the rough pebble grain.

Do you think you cut your part too small?

Assumptions...

Thanks for the reply!

I have a music man 210-65 that I've made an upper rear baffle for. I made this bafffle out of 1/4 baltic birch but it appears that maybe 3/8" is the right material --> I went with 1/4" because all Fender seem to be 1/4". The stock lower baffle is slightly less than 1/2" (.44") and I was thinking that 1/16" per side of tolex would bring it up to the proper thickness.

In any case, I bought 3/8" and the tolex comes in a few days so I will report which one is right when I have all the pieces in hand and put a caliper on it.

3/8" for Music Man rear baffle

Definately 3/8", the baffle looks great and I just used regular contact cement5 because the mojo stuff was too pricey.

mojo tolex = .030"
