Fingerboard Pro Kit contains:

• 5-layers of Canadian maple per board (1 3/4 x 4 3/4 x 1/64'') (2 boards)
• includes 3 long grain and 2 cross grain sheets per board
• 3-dimensionally shaped Modular Pro Mold (8 pcs. w/ 20 possible mold combinations)
• Launchpad
• glue and glue spreader
• sandpaper
• grip tape
• illustrated instructions

and a Thin Air Press Kit

• 10.5 x 20” heavy duty vinyl vacuum bag with one-way valve attached
• manual vacuum Super Pump
• extra sealing tape

By following the printed instructions included in the kit box, you will be guided through the glue up, stacking on the mold and Launchpad, inserting and sealing into the TAP bag. Using the manual vacuum pump to evacuate the air, the Thin Air Press will press the veneers over the mold. The sanding process is described, as well as some graphics suggestions.

Q: Is this kit reusable?
A: Yes. Every thing but the veneer and glue are reusable

Q: What if my TAP bag or valve is leaking?
A: 99.9% of the time, the seal is not closed up properly. Dust and debris can prevent the top cap of the valve to seal, rinse cap with water. For more in-depth details, see the TAP kit FAQ’s page.

Q: Can I make Fingerboards without the Launchpad?
A: No, the Launchpad is required to create the additional vacuum pressure needed to press such a small deck.

Q: Why don't I need to use breather netting with this kit?
A: The Launchpad is designed to allow you to use the bag without breather netting. Position the valve within the red circle on the Launchpad.

Q: Can I get more veneer?
A: A Refill for this kit is available here

Q: Will stuff last if I don’t use it right away?
A: Veneer will absorb and lose moisture, so keep it sealed in plastic (or the carton it arrived in) but away from any heat sources. Lay it flat to prevent warping. Prevent the glue from freezing.

Q: How do I get this cheaper?
A: Become an entrepreneur! Each kit allows you to make more than one deck, build one for yourself and generate income from the other boards you build!

Q: What else do I need to complete this project?
A: A moisture protector is recommended (sponge on water-based outdoor clear coat) to seal all surfaces, especially your edges and before applying any graphics.
