Hello, hubby is tring to bend thin peices of clear cedar to a D shaped form. All seems to be going ell except when it gets down to the very end the bag seems to suck up under not letting it make the complete contact on the ends. Any suggestions?

Carol,Yes, I have a few suggestions. First, make your laminations thinner so there is less resistance. Second, do the lamination in two pressings, half at a time. Third, get a piece of cheap indoor/outdoor carpeting and throw it over your lamination and form. The carpeting will still flex but not so much to let the bag get between the form and laminations. Last, make your laminations longer so if some of the bag gets under the lamination it will be in the part that gets cut off.When Im doing lamination work I usually make sure the laminations are flexible enough so with my bare hands I can push them 90% of the way onto the form. This way the bag will draw the laminations down enough to prevent the problem you are having.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Hello, hubby is tring to bend thin peices of clear cedar to a D : shaped form.
