We took out the 1st board in the press this week. It turned out great, it has contoured to the press as well as laminated without a single air bubble. The press was unscathed after its first job, and we tossed in another board that we're gonna be taking out in about a weeks time. We spent this week beginning to cut out the actual board. All thats left is to file it down precisely, sand it, and finish it. We may or may not include a graphic on the bottom.
The only problem we encountered with the board was finding that it didn't completely contour to the press. We found that the curves that the board had by the end of being pressed were not as steep or extreme as those in the original press. We solved this by using more clamps this time around. Hopefully we'll have our first completed deck in a couple weeks!
Here's a picture of the second deck being pressed along with the first one, already pressed:
