I think I have changed my mind, and am going to go with a diaphram. The diaphram will be constructed with flat rubber. It will make up the "roof" of the press box, and depending on which form I am using for the female section of the press (no male), there will be spacers inside the box to ...

Skammy, I think you may have found the one. There is a HUGE slew of websites out there, with hundreds of pages of specs of countless rubber hoses, but nothing has fit the bill yet. I don't like the idea of having someone make me a custom bladder, because of price. So many materials which might just ...

we have probably 20 different mold sets we use for different decks, and I can say, that for a longboard, with LOTs of 3d aspects to some of the molds, not needing to make the male will be awesome. So the benefits are many. Less time spent building molds being the main benefit. We currently use an I ...

We are getting ready to build a press much like a ski press, but there are some huge differences related to the objective, which I hope to get some help with...
