How are you getting your edge to edge pressure? I understand your are getting flat downward pressure.

I was involved in guitar making years back and we used to put a pencil under the seam raising it and then drive nails touching the outside edges. Apply glue to the seam edges, pull out the pencils and press down and you get good edge to edge pressure.
