yeah definitely must be the glue man, i can press for boards for 18 hours and their sweet to take out and work on

What glue where you using that seems to be the problem?
boards usually loose a little concave after pressing.
What measurement where you looking for and what did you get ?
a 12ply board (4*3ply) shouldnt be flexy whats the wheelbase?
what kind of press are you using?

the more info you give the easier it will be to diagnose the problem

Hey i've just pressed my board for 72h (hoop pine marine grade 3mm ply, 4plys), when I took it out of the press the board lost all of its concave that i had pressed into it and i had pressed in steep concave. I have now used fiberglass resin and pressed it even steeper. any suggestions on what i should do so keep the concave. It is also flaxy is there anyway i can stop that?
