Hydraulic Pressing & Molds (Concave, Kick, Repeatability)
This is where a deck becomes a deck. Hydraulic presses and molds create concave and kick geometry—small differences here change how a board feels underfoot.

Why it matters
- Repeatability = consistent feel across batches.
- Cure control affects long-term stability and bond strength.
- Mold precision affects concave depth and kick angles.
