Eric was just applying this concept a little differently, by applying spots of glue to the brace so the back (underneath the brace) could expand in between those spots. There is no glue drips outside the braces. Now he is admitting it is not advisable.

The joint itself was glued in alternate intervals? Well, don't you think you would get buzzes with unglued pieces touching with the slightest movement?
Yankee workshop?
I hope NONE of the Luthiers working on my basses watch shows like that for advice on how to restore an Italian Bass or even a Yankee bass for that matter. Chairs and Tables do not get played. They do not travel around to gigs in varied climates.
If you have to watch the Yankee Workshop to know how to fix something on a professional level then maybe that person needs to apprentice somewhere a little while longer.
