THE VACUUM PRESS<br />

After inserting the layered veneer on top of the mould into the vacuum bag<br />

Sam then proceeded to roll over the edge of the bag and connect the vacuum<br />

pump and turn it on. We then added the clamps to the four wheel arches to<br />

make sure that the vacuum would really close the gaps on where mould<br />

needed to be as perfect as possible.<br />

the photos above. The deck had to sit undisturbed for a couple of hours while<br />

the glue set and the vacuum press did its job on the maple.<br />
