 \begin{proof} (Sketch.)
+The proof is similar to that of the second part of Theorem \ref{thm:gluing}.
+There is a natural map from the 0-simplices of $\clh{\bc_*(Y;\cC)}(W)$ to $\bc_*(Y\times W; \cC)$,
+given by reinterpreting a decomposition of $W$ labeled by $(n{-}k)$-morphisms of $\bc_*(Y; \cC)$ as a blob 
+diagram on $W\times Y$.
+This map can be extended to all of $\clh{\bc_*(Y;\cC)}(W)$ by sending higher simplices to zero.
 
+To construct the homotopy inverse of the above map one first shows that
+$\bc_*(Y\times W; \cC)$ is homotopy equivalent to the subcomplex generated by blob diagrams which
+are small with respect any fixed open cover of $Y\times W$.
+For a sufficiently fine open cover the generators of this ``small" blob complex are in the image of the map
+of the previous paragraph, and furthermore the preimage in $\clh{\bc_*(Y;\cC)}(W)$ of such small diagrams
+lie in contractible subcomplexes.
+A standard acyclic models argument now constructs the homotopy inverse.
 \end{proof}
