Low spots on sides
Im going to be starting my 6th acoustic build soon. One issue I continue to have is low spots on the sides. I use an LMI bender with the spring steel slats that LMI provided (they are pretty stout).
One observation, sometimes there is a bit of rebound in the sides as I take them out of the bender. I sort of force them into the mold to glue the neck and tail blocks. I’m wondering if that may be where the issue is occurring.
After removing from the mold, I use a rolling pin sander attachment to level the sides, then install bindings and once again level the sides with the pin sander.
The end result looks good, but I’d like to see if I can improve the process and not sand as much to get to level sides.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James
