Oh, yes, 60cm... it's a mistake... I'm thinking to re weld it to 30cm

Hello everybody. Finally my press is growing. Not much time to work on it, having a office work, a 15 months toddler and another coming, but we'll find the way to make it. I'm starting with this project at my partent's house, in Curacavi, a folk location close to Santiago and a great place to let yo...

Thanks for all your advices. Now i have more money for materials and more prototypes.

This is the #1 factor. Typically, heat cured epoxy formulations are better suited/tailored for the ski industry. The mechanical properties (mainly flex) air designed for the cold temps that a ski will be used at. That being said, if you choose the right room temp cure epoxy you won;t notice a diffe...

When resin gets warm it becomes less viscous (thinner), so it will ooze out easier. This means more resin gets squeezed out and you have a lighter ski. But if you heat it up too much, it might cure before it has time to ooze out. I like to set my heat blanket to just warm (100 deg F) for a while ju...

Hello, I'm in process of making my first press (maybe the first press in Chile). I've read her there is a lot of difference when curing the resin under heat, but at the cost of it and considering is my first attemp, i'm considering seriously. As i understood, heat cured resin should mean stronger ad...
