Abstract

An apparatus for pressing a multi-layered skateboard deck having a variation in thickness is provided. The apparatus includes a mold assembly, a first liner, and a second liner. The mold assembly includes a first mold having a first surface and a second mold having a second surface. The first surface and the second surface are configured to collectively define a mold cavity configured to receive the multi-layered skateboard deck. The first liner is disposed adjacent to the first surface and the second liner is disposed adjacent to the second surface. The mold assembly is configured to apply a load when the multi-layered skateboard deck is disposed in the mold cavity. At least one of the first liner or the second liner is configured to deform in response to the applied load such that the multi-layered skateboard deck is compressed with a substantially uniform pressure.
