One form must be the exact shape you want and the mating form doesn't have to be as precise as the air bladder fills the gap to press the laminations down. The exact shape form can be male or female. This technique is typically done with old fire hoses as they are flat and lend themselves to the form. There are some books out there that cover the subject. Can't recall the titles off hand but do have several in my library.
