i havent had any problems with the supersap 100/1000. press for 9-10 hours no heat (45-50 psi), leave in press for 24 hours, take out (usually bring inside) and wait 5 days before cutting the flash. long process but works. i hope to make the step towards a heat blanket or two this summer

i'm around 900-1000g per pair using entropy, working on cutting this back. need more experimenting, maybe a separate wet layup table. why not buy a small kit and test it out?

interesting, maybe it was our gaps then. we've been pressing at 45psi. or it could just be the softness of the pine we used like chris mentioned. How did you work the plywood mold...trace the shape, jig-saw, sand to get a template, then route?

Yeah you're right, not going to go with pine anymore for molds. Definitely going to use MDF next time. We are in the process of building another mold right now.
