Can you effectively use a radius dish as a solera? Say a 15'.

Yes, that's pretty much what it is.

15' is more curve than most folks use for tops though.

Also, make sure you understand the geometry of the neck/fretboard/bridge height before you dome the upper bout. There are many ways to treat it but one possibility is to dome everything but the UTB. Often that gives you the right geometry.

How about 28'? Mostly flat above the sound hole?
