Mmmkay...working on my L2 project, cut my fins out of some 1/4" birch plywood and they are a little warped. We're talking about 1/8" curve out of straight over the length (or root edge) that is 14" long.
In order to straighten the fins out, the only advice I found online is to buy 1/8" ply and glue them together with the warping facing each other. Welp, I am not real interested in buying more ply and re-cutting my fins. That just seems like a lot of waste. Is there any reason I can just glass the fins (both sides) and mash them between 2 straight boards? I'll use wax paper between the boards and the fins of course so they don't all stick together. Anyone else try this? I was going to glass the fins tip to tip anyways.
