Glue cleanup on ribs

    Dittos Terry-- We always turn the air up slow and look for the glue to 
squezze out evenly under the rib/board joint and look for any places where it 
didn't which means it was too dry. I'm using 40 P.S.I. Seems to be plenty. In 
the event it looks too dry we pull it off after only a minute or two and even 
then its a struggle to get it apart with the tight bond which means it's quite 
tacky.

Not only skid potential, but with the right technique (takes a lot of
experience and expertise here) you can actually shoot a rib across the room
(talk about having some glue to clean up)! I have found, as I think Ron N.
pointed out, that slow application of air pressure is the best way to avoid
rib movement. That initial "tack" seems to set up pretty good in just a
minute or two - you can get that initial tack with five or ten pounds of
air - not enough to send the rib elsewhere, but enough to get the initial
tack. Best way to tell if you have put too much air in hose initially is if
the rib moves.   ;-)
