Topsheet protective film- what do you use?

Just curios what brand and where some of you get your protective film to protect the topsheet during layup? I've used tape, but thought it would be nice to have a solid cover. Couldn't find anything specific searching! Thanks!

I might be interested... What's the 'shaft' diameter on these, or in other words, what diameter hole would I drill.

Thanks for the info.. As for the the vacuum pump, I read somewhere a foodsaver would do the job, so today I mixed carefully and vacuum sealed the thing and noticed the bubbles surfacing. I guess the problem/question I have now, after I mix the resin and hardener can I set in front of a heat source t...

Epoxy and bubbles and syringes

I looked for a topic on bubbles but didn't find what I was looking for. I need to fill a small groove and I'm using a syringe, problem is I'm getting a ton of bubbles. I'm using west system g/flex if that makes a difference. Thanks again!

I know the edges that the ski builders store sells has a 1.33mm step, can you buy edges with more of a step?

I ended up messing with this just a bit on suday night, and think I have it figured out for the most part. I was able to find a board at a pawn shop for $20 so we had something to throw a couple experiments at. For this one we actually used a table saw to cut the grooves I needed and it went well, t...

I plan on routing just under the base material or what ever the height of the edge is, in theory I shouldn't compromise the base... that's the plan anyway!

skidesmond- Did you route that out on a table or by hand? I'm thinking the camber would affect the cut if routed on a table, maybe not. as far as filling the gap goes, I think because it won't be tapered like a normal sidewall but at a 90 degree angle the edge will actually have material over it. Go...

Thanks for the input and pictures. I was going to try and find a few boards on craigslist for cheap to try on but maybe I'll just get some base material and glue to the base of a 1x and try it that way? I wonder if the heat from the bit would ill affect the base material? I was thinking I would have...
