Subject: Bonding fixture review

If you do not have the software for opening an e-drawing use the
link below.  It is a little pre-mature to send this drawing, but
since you have a holiday on Monday I did not want to delay.  You can
use the icons to "select" components and use "hide" (right button to
see under the hold -down plate.
One option is to use a vacuum bag to apply pressure to the
upper plate during curing. If one were to do so, it might be best to
increase the base plate slightly to provide a surface to tape the
vacuum bag.
The fixtures that hold the end caps are split, so the upper portion
can be removed.  My concern is sliding a block off the alignment pins
after curing.  The lower portion of the block is held with by vacuum.
 
Bill has created several sheets to indicate the steps.  More work is
need to define steps a better.  Putting the last facing is where I
visualize a problem controlling bondlines.
 
I should be available to talk Monday or Tuesday if either of you have
the time.
 
Have a nice weekend.
