Hi Robert, no problem it's just an exchange of experience. You've got all the answers right.
1. I attach the strips after rolling the parts. At the time same, also roll the strips before gluing. If you have to press the the strips, do it from the inside out and that would not show the strip through the skin.
2. You can see it's just ordinary white glue. I apply a line of glue on the strip, just a little bit more than necessary. After joining, let the glue stay for a short while before wiping it off, or, press the edge of the part lightly onto the strip when the glue is semi-dry to make it flush (hope I'm using this word accurately).
3. One of the metal chopsticks, aluminum I think, costs little and very handy to curl parts and the round end of an old fountain pen is the most useful tool for me in burnishing. Other common tools like tweezers and other pointed tools are also helpful.
