[QUOTE="Mainline9, post: 447747, member: 22243"] Without knowing the size of your transom (or how large a blank you’re going to lay up) and whether you’ll be using sanded fir or sanded southern pine, you’ll want to give some thought to how you will ensure good contact in the center of your blank. Southern Pine is particularly prone to bowing, often the result of how the panels are stored. Clamping around the perimeter may be adequate but if your panels are significantly bowed, you may need to place/park something heavy on the center of your blank prevent you from producing a blank that is 1 ½” on the edges and 1 5/8” in the middle. If you’re using Titebond lll, the open time is pretty short, so plan ahead. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
