And….



Now… even consistent pressure is necessary.. you can use vacuum presses, plastic bags and a vacuum cleaner… or clamps…. My choice…

I apply a couple of pads I cut from “Non Slip” work table pads…



You will notice the “block” I have made to take up the void left by the curve of the contour. To make it, I took a body, put down a sheet of plastic.. a grocery bag is fine… and filled it in with Auto Body Putty… let it harden and shaped it so the top would be flat with the pads…. The pads are about ˝ inch thick so they take up any inaccuracy as the filler block is used with other bodies..

I now put a top plate on the sandwich, this it Masonite…



and begin clamping..



Hey… No talkin’… follow me please….
