[93nf]

@USA17HR yes to both, both increase with age and use :P cant find a good enough glue, if u get the real deal glue your set

so....you built the press, but then didn't use it to create concave??

[93nf]

@simonsimon4131 yeh I did, that pic was not a good interp, weight was not set and I spun the board round, worker well, you just need a shit of weight, I used litterally 50 to 60 bricks
