Laminating two irregularly shaped objects (in this case, a side of a sailboat centerboard case) without them slipping out of alignment is an enormous pain.

(I think I got it, tho.)

I prefer when laminating is to oversize the pieces your joining to the perfect one. Once they're joined and solid I hit it with the router and perfect!

Place a bit of silica or something gritty on epoxy surfaces. Clamping the grit imbeds itself into the surfaces limiting the movement or none at all.

V-block jig but can be cumbersome depending on what you're doing. Easier if you have a clamp bench.

I do prefer the router meathod the best whenever possible though.

@NomadCasey In this case, the parts were CNC cut to the exact dimensions, so the router method was off the table.

Regardless, it turned out just fine.
