Plate 141:  Adding a souvenir mug to the collection, Part 27: gluing thin boxboard along an ogee curve
(This plate added OCT 2004)

In Plate 137, we saw a half-inch wide strip of thin unlaminated boxboard being glued to the curving outline of a receptacle for the mug's handle. The type of curve that is formed by the handle's cut-out is sometimes called an ogee curve.

An ogee curve, sometimes called an S-curve or double-curve, is a curve which changes its curvature from convex to concave.

To make our half-inch boxboard strip conform to the changing curvature, we apply the glue a little at a time, and hold the strip in place while the glue sets. This process, which is time-consuming, requires patience. However, the time and patience thus expended are rewarded by a curving strip which exactly conforms to the outline of the ogee.
