      Trix and I pressed up a S&S O board today. We tried using tight bond 
again but tried to get a better feel for just the right amount of glue to apply 
so that only a small amount of squezze came at the out when we turned up the 
40 P.S.I  air pressure. It worked much better and the samller amounts of glue 
were more easily cleaned up with damp rags and dry paper towell. With only 11 
ribs the spacing between cauls was wider and 1& 1/2 hrs. This will probably 
continue to be our chosen method.
   Also on a different subject ,on occasion we've had the ribs scoot sideways 
as we apply pressure (this happened with go bars to)  so we install short 
center pins into the ribs glue surface to keep them from skidding sideways when 
the pressures turned up.
