I just use one metal slat under the blanket, nothing on top. Works fine and I don't need different slat for different shapes.

I go Blanket, slat, wood wrapt in wet paper, slat.
Works well for me.
I've tried having a blanket against the wood before but break things when I do that and have decided that I alway want a slat agiast the wood for better support.
I don't know why having the blanket agaist the wood works for everyone except me

I just stare at the wood, it heats up, and I bend it with my hands to the shape I want it. Not blanket or slats needed.

Whut???

Doesn't the Kryptonite make the wood go green though?

And do you wear your underpants on the inside or the outside?

And have you ever played a guitar made by Lex Luthier?Dave White38911.7169097222
