We're going to put this part in the rest of the back while the glue is still wet so we have to move kind-a fast. So we'll put this off to the side for right now and start with gluing the back. We're going to do the same thing to the back as far as glue is concerned that we did to the other one. Glue in the slot and brush it around.
