When the board is sanded, this dam is exposed, allowing the screws to be accessed. Most fin systems have flat dams with steep sides, making the lamination process tricky. They also have protrusions in the dam outline to host the screws, further complicating the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe took a radically different approach with GB\u003csup\u003e24\u003c\/sup\u003e. The dam is not only elliptical but is, in fact, a cylindrical ellipse (think cucumber). Making it effortless to laminate over the box as the cloth can easily drape over the dam as there are no flat surfaces. There is nowhere for air to be trapped.

Once the dam is sanded down, it leaves a clean, elliptical outline behind. This means it is a lot easier to laminate over the box with color as there is nowhere for the resin to pool, affecting the color consistency. This shape also results in the cloth being left partially on the dam, making for a much tighter installation. The flange grooves also extend partially onto the dam to allow for a mechanical bond all the way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"stacks_in_1286-header foundry-typeface-one shadow-none text-start\"\u003eFlange\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lead text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1289-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flange plays a critical role in a box designed to go under-the-glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1291-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen installed, a flange supports the box while providing a bonding surface for the lamination. But it also helps to dissipate the side loads generated on the box by the fins. It helps prevent the slot of the box from bowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight lines in a flange outline make the box more susceptible to rolling as the loads cannot be dissipated gradually. For this reason, the GB\u003csup\u003e24\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eflange is shaped as an ellipse.

To meet this requirement, the flange has longitudinal grooves on the upper surface for a good mechanical bond with the lamination. Additionally, resin vent holes at the flange's wide point allow excess resin to vent out of the cavity when installing a box. But more importantly, they provide an additional bond between the lamination and the underlying foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, because of the shape of the dam, when it is ground down, it also helps to strengthen the flange further as it retains the elliptical shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"stacks_in_1305-header foundry-typeface-one shadow-none text-start\"\u003eBottom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lead text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1308-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new system has a unique bottom shape that aligns with the overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1310-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most common fin systems, the bottom of the GB24 box is not rectangular and parallel-sided.

This means it is a lot easier to laminate over the box with color as there is nowhere for the resin to pool, affecting the color consistency. This shape also results in the cloth being left partially on the dam, making for a much tighter installation. The flange grooves also extend partially onto the dam to allow for a mechanical bond all the way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"stacks_in_1286-header foundry-typeface-one shadow-none text-start\"\u003eFlange\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lead text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1289-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flange plays a critical role in a box designed to go under-the-glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1291-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen installed, a flange supports the box while providing a bonding surface for the lamination. But it also helps to dissipate the side loads generated on the box by the fins. It helps prevent the slot of the box from bowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight lines in a flange outline make the box more susceptible to rolling as the loads cannot be dissipated gradually.

To meet this requirement, the flange has longitudinal grooves on the upper surface for a good mechanical bond with the lamination. Additionally, resin vent holes at the flange's wide point allow excess resin to vent out of the cavity when installing a box. But more importantly, they provide an additional bond between the lamination and the underlying foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, because of the shape of the dam, when it is ground down, it also helps to strengthen the flange further as it retains the elliptical shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"stacks_in_1305-header foundry-typeface-one shadow-none text-start\"\u003eBottom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lead text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1308-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new system has a unique bottom shape that aligns with the overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-start\" id=\"stacks_in_1310-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most common fin systems, the bottom of the GB24 box is not rectangular and parallel-sided.
