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.
