<DIV><FONT face=Arial>That's what I did. Modified two-part urea-formaldehyde
adhesive. Excellent gap filling properties, cures hard as glass, doesn't need
much pressure at all. In fact, the only thing pressure really does is position
the wood for adhesive cure.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>----- Original Message ----- <BR>>>One
disadvantage <BR>>> to laminating a panel I would think would be the glue
up process itself, <BR>>> the application of even pressure over a panel
would require a serious <BR>>> press, I haven't seen it done. An amateur
attempt could definitely be a <BR>>> failure.<BR>>> Fenton<BR>>
<BR>> Well, anything by anyone could be a failure if it's done <BR>>
carelessly. I'd think a vacuum bag would work well enough with <BR>> a choice
