    I used boat winches with seatbelt style webbing. Even with two 2 inch straps and a ton of pull on each, clamps and cauls were still required to flatten the layers.

    I'm coming to that realization. This bending stuff - not easy to do.

    My next test will be with two 3" straps and clamps. Then I'll make some cauls for the straight parts. If that doesn't work.....
    - After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off
    - It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.
