Step 1 - Steal your wife's thrift store electric frying pan.
Step 2 - Buy a silicon roller (Grainger?).
Step 3 - Add wax.

Makes 30 to 40 servings

Enjoy.

If anyone finds a resource to buy those rollers, please share.
Hell yeah! I'm definitely gonna make one of these. Nice and simple too :D

euh...Well I was just thinking taht, the more layers you put, the greater the risk of delamination...but that's probably not true :oops:

yeah that's right...the base layer and the wood core seem to have been treated before. But how ?...

I was guessing it's just pre-bent tipspacers...

Does it look like they've done more than prebend the core and wet out the wood preping it for layup? It difficult to tell, but do you think its more than that? I can't watch the video here, but I did look at it this past weekend, and it seems like they use more thinner layers than we have been. Maybe the core is pre bend in a press with glass on both sides to make it hold its shape better?
