I have had trouble getting the bases and the core to align perfectly. Here is my technique which worked better than any technique I have used before.
We double face taped the bases to the galvanized steel underneath. One strip down the center in the center line. It is in the center third of the ski. There is no mold release in this area. This keeps the base from moving any where. Then when I put my tip and tail spacers on I purposely left the edges wide. I used wooden locator blocks held in place by monkey tape. I also put a front locator. This made a really big difference. The picture below clearly shows the wooden locator blocks.
My board is coming along great! i have just finished making my template and now i have to sand it, so i am getting close. after that i have to make my core the my templates specifications, then profile, drilling holes, and then press! well not that close.
