[QUOTE=Peter Tommasini;98516][QUOTE=
It also seems that by pushing the panel in like that makes for unstable wheeling conditions which resulted in the skewed potato chip look.

I could be wrong...but...
Is my belive that the ''potato chip'' is corsed by too much pressure too quick and too soon on a non pre wheeled panel with light pressure first, this can also happend when starting from the middle with load of pressure

I agree with you Peter. I guess you 'set' the panel before wheeling so that it holds it shape, thats what I do . The other problem with putting so much shape in one area while not wheeling another is that the top wheel can dig into the panel leaving marks on the surface.

The student helper needed a lot more instruction on where to stand, what to do with his feet and how to hold the panel. not much wonder he was running around like a headless chicken, poor guy.
