There was a thread about it a while back (A year? More?).

Track down Tom Gootee's page, I think it was him who tried it.  Might be
some results there.

Apparently it's a bit hard to apply enough pressure.  Clamping causes
distortion, so you get pressure in one spot but not another, etc.  Dumping
weights on top didn't seem to help either.
