  Short nails with a sharper and more tapered point would probably be =
better (even predrilled) to insure that you don't split the ribs. =20

          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.
