I tried that route yesterday with a couple of layers. Going to take off the clamps today (48 hrs). I'll then see how much springback (if any) I get from the first two inside layers. Strengthwise, I don't think I would be able to glue all 10 laminates together and then bend on the form. So my game plan is to do 2-3 layers at a time, perhaps up to about 4 layers, then winch in place and place clamps.
I also bought some West Systems extra slow hardener to get really long working time.
