Pressing Tips?

Ray...try using the search function in this section and the main. The issue has been gone over in depth many, many times. You should be able to find answers to all your questions. I don't mind answering questions but yours is so somewhat vague...I could write pages on the subject.
Or...if you'd like the short version: I press Elks, Lepros, & Triangles.
Press by feel...in a vise. Leave them pressed for days. Helps to soak them first as well.
