rando tips i have compiled from my research:<br>
|
|
- dont use too much glue, just enough to spread across surface of veneer<br>
|
|
- use an extra piece of veneer wrapped in packaging tape as a squeegee to apply glue evenly<br>
|
|
- use a very light coat of gorilla glue on only the top side of the first 4 pieces of veneer<br>
|
|
- leave the deck in the mold for 24 hours<br>
|
|
- drill the holes before you remove the deck from the mold<br>
|
|
- leave it in the sun or a lamp after you take it out to make it stronger<br>
|
|
- trace a deck on paper and cut it out to make a simple and easy template for shaping in the future<br>
|
|
- when sanding use some sort of electric sander or a dremel. makes it easier and better<br>
|
|
- if hand sanding dont press the board too hard<br>
|
|
- when drilling try drilling really slow for nice holes that are not torn up<br>
|
|
- take care when doing king pin holes, try make them as neat as posible<br>
|
|
- when doing a burn/engrave/print/etc. graphic (not sticker), do it before you mold it<br>
|
|
- laquer, wait to dry fully, and sand 4 times- then laquer once more<br><br><br>
