im attempting to reverse camber my old scratch BCs, ive had the clamped together like this for a full day now, now im adding low heat via a wood stove,  will prolly add heat for like 2 hours a day for a week or so.  anyone tried this, any suggestions?  please dont clutter this with "youre gonna ruin your skis"  because i clearly dont care about these skis as they were, and i really just want something that is gonna slay narrow tree lines on Big Jay, and a 176 rockered scratch BC would be mint.

i clamped them right in front of the toes and roght behind the heels and between the bindings too, made sure the pressure points were even, and jammed a bible between the tips and another book between the tails.  im hoping jesus help will give me the desired shape

Even a small rocker will make a big difference since the ski will flex the other direction.
