VQ 9: Can a vacuum press be used for veneering over a bending form?

I have to admit that I don’t so much bent or curved veneer work. However, I have received countless emails from builders of this press who have successfully completed projects of this caliber. Each has said that as long as there is 20″ of vacuum, curved work can be completed with this system. Check this page for pictures. They also recommended using polyurethane bags instead of the vinyl if there are highly exaggerated curves.
