More newbie question time. I have an uplocking rosewood seat. I know that you have to glue it together before putting it on the blank but:

Question 1: do you glue on the end cap before putting on the blank, and how much epoxy do you use. This is kinda vague in al's tutorial.

Question 2: on the sleeve end that goes into the cork handle. I know you wait until you put on the handle, but do you glue that sleeve to the handle only or both the seat and handle. I'm wondering about excess glue in that gap interfereing with putting a reel on the rod.

Any help would be great!
