Here is a tutorial on how to apply camber to one of our pintail decks or a custom shaped longboard.
Tools and materials
2 pieces of plywood, 1/2″ to 3/4″
The steps are easy
Make your custom mold with only concave or use our pre-made pintail shape.
Glue your veneers as usual and place on mold.
Put the stack of veneer and mold into your vacuum bag
Place two pieces of 1/2″ plywood under each end of the deck around where your trucks would be (outside of the bag)
As you vacuum the air from the bag, press firmly down around the middle of the deck bending the stack of veneer and foam
Once the air has been removed the pressure is so great that the stack cannot return to flat
This technique is completely adjustable and saves tons of time by not having to carve camber into your foam mold
I have made countless decks using this method and it works every time.
Simple and foolproof!
