How do you glue your forms together without getting a crown or valley in them?

whats a form?
The base mold?
Core?
Very slowly.
Not all at once.
Most people are running a rod through the base mold not glueing.
Your a woodworker right?
The best clamps are attached to your arms.

Ah, I was thinking of rods and glue but I can deal with just rods. I suppose the trick is to drill the hole dead center.

I felt the rods looked like the way to screw it up from my perspective I go glue only.

When I made my bottom mold/form, after I routed the curvature I made a jig, put each piece in the jig, then used my plunge router w/ a straight cutting bit to drill the hole. I did the tip and tail blocks the same way. Then ran 1/2inch threaded rod through the holes and bolted it together.
