Veneer stacking inside the mold

Hey all I've made a mold similar to the low pro K-4 shape or Scott B shape and it looks great

Only problem is I'm finding it hard to press the veneer inside of the mold so that it gets so tight to bend and get the full shape. It misses out the concave and deep before the kicks

If you could please give me some suggestions or feed forward it'd REALLY help Thanks

if u already have the veneer, and the mold, u glue the plies of veneer together. then you use your vice to clamp the 2 parts of the mold forming equal pressure on the veneer and ur done.

once u get the correct shape, use the sander to sand the excess

Try using less veneer, depending on the thickness of the veneer u use.

Lol i know how to make fingerboards its just the fact that my clamp wont press firmly enough so that the veneer gets the EXCACT shape. I'm only using four plies for my new board. Btw would it help if i mad the second and 4th of 5 plies cut so that it bends the way the kicks do? And the other three normaly?

not really. if u gonna cut the veneer the deck is not gonna look good. i suggest you get a vice. it can clamp really hard

A vice would help i've been trying to buy one no such luck. yearh i guess so coz my new mold is WICKEd better then my G1 shape

yea try hard to get a vice. u need equal clamping pressure for a good deck .

Thanks using 3 clamps on a tiny mold really sucks lol

how do u coiuntersink

not trying to spam cause i was told to cut down...

countersinking is to drill a counter hole to make sure the screw fits perfectly. to drill holes you use a 1/8 drill bit, and to countersink, you use a 1/16 drill bit and go though a little bit so the screw can fit the deck perfectly. btw this is seriously off topic.

Yeah mi bad lol

just so you know the board you make isnt gonna look just like the mold

Uhm, I think I know that lawl Thanks anyway, I just mean How can iget the correct shape 4 my mold coz its my NEW one and it has a more complex shape

use a metal plate instead of a shaped techdeck to make the mold

if theyre to hard to bend (or crack in the mold) spray them over gently with a spray bottle with water....

tHANKS I used sum metal yeah looks great, mold works beautifully but has crack how would i repair?
