I'm making a thin (3-4mm), curved, veneer lamination (4-5 pieces of veneer). The bottom is flat but the top has 3 small curves that look like this "000" but are joined together. The two outer curve tops are a bit larger than the middle curve top. The curves are not very tight but I will have 2 shallow valleys on either side of the middle curve top.
My question is... will a vacuum bag setup press the laminates into the valley areas? Currently I use a 2-part, male-female wooden mold with clamps. It is difficult to get an even distribution of pressure doing it this way.
If using a vac bag, could one put some high density foam strips in the bag along the length of the valleys to assist with adding pressure to the valleys?
Thanks,
