ps gunna cut out triangles from the corner of the ply layers to allow for 3D moulding as rayne calls it.

i just wanted to ride it so as yet it has none, i will throw on two more layers of polyurethane then fine sand, more 'thane then another coat of sand then a final coat of 'thane then it's all good

i think i'm a nut bag. is it the glue drying in the concave that holds the boards in that shape or does the press change the shape of the ply. Dumb Qu, just look at the info on silver fish i here you say....OK OK OK, i'm doin it now.

i think idream to big but i'm gunna aim for a version of a rayne Kill switch i have access to heaps of MDF to make a top and bottom of a press three strips down the length of the bottom and two on top to get the middle w concave and then two coresponding curves around the truck attacjments. i plan to use only 6mm mdf on the middle sections of the w and try to put a litle extra tweak on the outer edges like another layer on the outer edges. each section i will line with a thin slice og packing poly syrene to round out the shapes. have to find as thin a layer of ply as i can, possible press the first two layers first let it go off then press on anothe layer on top. have to get water proof glue and some ply and get this imagination working as i can not get it out of my head. just rough sketches of the press on some paper at the moment. Gunna try to track down some bamboo ply. there is a guy on the coast who supplies bamboo to the pandas in all the big Zoo's in australia and he also produces bamboo flooring so he has to be lookin at som bamboo ply/laminate?????

do you put all the pieces together in a single press or do you do, like two pieces then let them go off and then do the next one etc.
