yeah the core has a big swollen spot, and that ash is stiff, I flexed the core again today and its pretty stout.
I think I'm going naked and if its fuct I can drop some heavier uni on top and repress with the topsheet.
I just have to experiment. I cant make the same thing twice.

Sorry SHIF, it must (might?) be the Dr that uses the heat to create camber.
I have been heating only from above and leaving to cool under pressure overnight also and I think my skis pretty well reflect the molds I have.
I also haven't had any problems with screw retention in my bamboo cores without any binding area reinforcement. I'm not dropping 100 footers, but think I give the skis a decent workout.
The skis I ski now have a 12.5mm bamboo core at centre, no carbon. I might take your idea of dropping core dim by 1mm and adding carbon to try and reduce weight a little.
The carbon I have is 65mm wide unidirectional. It is 200g/metre squared which I think is about 6 0z/square yard.

Don't wait up, I'm off to kill Summer....
