Hello Everyone.
I'm in the process of creating my first segmented bowl using the Segment PRO software and Stomper. I didn't have any problems gluing up the segments to make a ring (i.e. no gaps), but when I assembled the rings I got a couple of rings with small gaps. I ran the rings through my drum sander on both sides to get a consistent height. I verified that the sander is indeed level by measuring the rings at several different locations with a caliper.
So the only thing I can guess is that there's not enough pressure (weight) on the rings during glue-up. I'm using a 10 lb weight.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Richard Hnatyk
