Be careful to
make sure it's stuck where the wood is thickest in
line with the rim.

The glue holds it in place so it won't drift over to the
inside or outside
of the rim or block, minimizing the chances of
splitting apart the laminations.


This reminded me of the time about three plate
bolts felt as if they stripped out in a certain piano.
They were loose because the laminations of the
inner rim indeed were separated.  Taped the
bottom and filled bolt holes with epoxy.
