I need to replicate a curved dash insert for my Triumph. Is 1/8 Baltic Birch the best choice? Three layers and then veneer. Or would I be just as well served with hardboard? Would I get more stability if I added a layer of Foamica to the back side?
l have to make a mold, guess one side if vacuum can bend the 1/8 about 2 inches over 20 inches. Which is better, positive or negative? Or do I need to make a two piece and use my press? Do I expect any spring back? Can I do the veneer at the same time?
Thinking West epoxy. Car cabins being a very hostile environment. All advice is in dire need. I have never done anything like this before.
