UPDATE!!!
ok well the day started off ok. i cleared off the table saw, and re-attatched the motor, then cut the wood backer down to 9.5" from 14. then i piled the stuff back on. my brother hadent woken up yet so i had to put the relitivle heavy motor on myself, which washt a fun task

...
then i nailed the backer onto the mould, and bent it,
SNAP, it broke, snapped right in half... i had to sit dow it pissed me off so much. then later when he woke up i remembered how they made skate bords can chaird, they steem the wood. well i happen to have a steemer(what dont i have) and i steemed the wood, i used a sprayer bottle to wet it down some more in adition to the steemer.
steemer...(got it 3-4 years ago and this is the first time it was used.)

and the spritzer bottle, also the table saw is under it, pretty sweet, i got it for $300
then it was flexable enough to bend... and it did. no snaps, but on the steem bend it did break. no biggie it dodnt affect anything... we worked in 5-10" sections, the whole process too almost all day, from 2pm to 7pm... from steeming, nailing, heating bending, cooling and resecuring...


and what the acrylic sees...
