These were about 20mm deep and turned this board into a dream to sail, esp in small chop. The TM fin was pretty good too

anyone or decrepit do you think the rocker could have changed while it was in the bag because it was defernatly flatter yesterday, and now its settleing back down either as the weather is cooler or the resin is cureing because the rocker from 300 to 700 is lifting, where yesterday it was defernately quite flat @ 900
i had the bag pulling 35 pressure which is high normal is 25 but i thought i needed more pressure cos of the deep inserts ill have another look tomorrow if anyone has had this problem let me know
this thread is allmost done but ill do another post after all the changes and a test run, thanks for everyones input and the pm's you have all been a great help

I thought the same thing happened to my board in the early stages, but I think that was when I put the top on, didn't support the board enough and had too much surplus bag on one side of the board.
Once you have the board finished and are only doing mods, I'd be surprised if it moved very much.
Although it depends what you mean by "35" if that's inches of mercury or feet of water, it's more than an atmosphere, (I think) almost anything could happen at that pressure, (I'm not sure how you get more than an atmosphere though)
