Joe.......
When using rough boards, I've had success with the Feins, along with the no-slip shelf liner material. All the holes in it allow vac to get through, yet help to conform to the irreglarities of rough wood. similar to the All Star gasket sheets, comes in 12" x 60" rolls, a buck a roll, cheaper than gasket sheets. Even with smooth wood, it helps alot in preventing parts from sliding. Ok, my two cents worth.......
Glad to hear a vac works on your produts however sometimes we have panels that aren't flat. Note even close. So some good clamps keeps us all flat.
When we first began making signs, twenty three years ago, they were all neatly glued up, sanded, and finished like furniture. Today we are moving into signs that have more natural character. We use rough sawn oak, cedar, and cypres which comes right out of the mill. I don't think there is a vacuum which will hold the fellows down. Even if there was, what's the point.
Joe,
Thanks for a great idea. I have started using Dow Great Stuff Pro to hold down material for 3d work after reading your suggestion. It works great!
Thanks again.
