Never used tip spacers before but going to start using them. The one thing I'm unsure of is there a need for a edge release on them like the ski cores?

Anyone know any places in North America that won't cost an arm and leg?

I have tried pretty much each way to do it and nothing have failed yet.

Its been a while and we all have our own methods of making skis, so why not find out what everyone is using for cores.

Been looking around for S class fiber glass and the sites I keep ending up at are ones that dont look the most trustful. Anyone know any good sites?

Had this happen to me for the first time, no idea what caused it to happen. I cut my bases to shape and attach edges at a later date, while i wait i press the bases down with weight. Really posting to see how guys like on3p store skis with edges attached and not worry about wrapping. http://i63.tiny...
