Q: How do I shape the mold foam?
A: View our tutorial first, then assemble the tools to mark, cut and sand the mold foam

Q: What else do I need to make a board with this kit?
A: Glue and a roller, possibly an off-cut sheet of plywood to act as a stiffener under the mold, and a jigsaw (or bandsaw) to trim out the pressed board

Q: How radical a shape will the maple veneers bend around?
A: If you can bend it with your hands, it will bend in the Thin Air Press. Best way to check is to do a DRY RUN, stack your veneer on the mold and press it in the TAP bag.
