Well, my son came home for break with one ski. The other one is up at Mt. Baker after a deep day. So, we made a new mold top and bottom. Twin tip 140/115/135. The cores are same as above. My son used 22 oz triax top and bottom with 2" carbon tape on bottom. Mine are 6.7 uni/ 12 oz biax fg top a...

Thanks for the reply SA. Well, I already have the carbon and glass so I’ll take another look at this. I have 20 and 22 oz triax as well so I can mix and match and come up with something

Just curious what you were comparing to my layup to?

Cheers, Bill

Resurrecting this thread once again. I’ve been away from building for a couple years but ready to have another go around. I’ve searched many threads looking for info on carbon/fg combinations. One thing I’ve learned is there is no single answer... I talked with a guy at fiberglass supply and h...

Vince got the vinyl in last night.

Yes. Might have something to do with the container ships parked outside of Seattle unable to offload due to ongoing labor disputes.

We could get by with less than 20 m...

Need 20m isosport 8210 top sheet for the Softwood ski build fest(this weekend). Local supplier is back ordered.

Interesting stuff. For the skis pressed so far we lay up on a separate table and work the Entropy into the fabric until it appears uniformly saturated. I'm guessing that with the "proper" amount of epoxy, uniformly applied, full saturation may not take place until the skis are in the press...

Thanks guys. Without the tlar approach I'd still be trying to figure out building a press.
The fabric was inspired by I think sammer. Although we didn't dye our own.

Here are some pics of our 4th pair. https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1/1978905_10203352714046372_1480594675_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1.0-9/60552_10203352714166375_1187582603_n.jpg https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1.0-9/1978817_10203352...

Nice. Did ya land it?

Thanks MM, these are my son's pair and he selected a sweet fabric for the top. If this works im golden.
I tried talking with entropy but the tech guy was out today.
Hoe long would you cook?

Well, probably not the first to do this but.... didn't realize there was a protective coating on the nylon top sheet and had a 50/50 chance to get it right. You got it, peal coating down. Comes of easily and may be able to reuse. I think I could re press, but I use Entropy with heat and wonder if re...

Yeah, Vince says the textured is getting reordered by some of his customers. He also wondered if the snow might slide off the textured better? He's waiting for feedback. Twizz, those skis with the native graphics over the bamboo are sweet. Now i need to figure out graphics on a computer, it never en...
