: Glad you got the pics. When you consider the 40-50 pounds is spread over as

: and work your way to the centre, where the greatest deformation will be,
: and by the time you get there the problem should have disappeared. Good
: luck and let us know how it goes. BTW I used the regular white glue sticks
: rather than the yellow wood glue and they held up just fine and came off
: afterward with just a small whack.

Thanks to all who responded so promptly! I will get busy manufacturing wedges tonight. Looks like this will be only a couple of day dealy in launch!
