Thanks Vinman...just as I suspected

getting ready to order my first MEI blanket and I need your insight. Should i order it as long as the longest ski I plan on pressing (for example 180cm)? What are the potential issues if I use a long heat blanket with a shorter pressing (160cm)? Will I ultimately have to order multiple blankets to m...

If you would consider parting out the MEI blankets, I am interested. Cheers, David

I was thinking the same thing - wider space giving me more "elbow" room for skis, especially as I intend to press a pair at a time. Thanks for the insights...this community is awesome!

If you have extra materials in need of a good home, I am interested. Topsheet, sidewall, edges, composites, whiskey or beer... Thank you.

If you have yet to see it, the New York Times article on last years tragic avalanche that took the lives of 3 skiers at Stevens Pass, Washington, is well researched and written. It called SNOW FALL: THE AVALANCHE AT TUNNEL CREEK and you can find it at NYTIMES.COM

Im getting ready to weld up my press, but am looking for some insight on whether I can gap the I beams to get to a longer cavity width. Each beam is 6.5" wide with two laying side by side. What are potential issues with creating a gap between them? Is a 2" gap too much? Thanks for any/all ...

I too am experiencing the frustration.
