I'll look it up if you want, but if you have either an inside or outside curve you like, space the two cauls apart the distance of slightly less than the thickness of the laminate stack in the center, and equal distances apart at the ends, clamp them down so they don't move, and scribe the one you want to change directly off of the other with either a marking gage, or a series of measurements and marks, and connect the dots with a spline.
