yeah, that's a good overall shape for a turny ski. I took it from some Volkll Unlimiteds. theses skis would be really something with a little titanal in them.

They are 181 cm, 125mm, 82mm, 110mm. Full camber, no rocker. Well, when you flatten the camber, there is a bit of early rise. regular 2001, I think, p-tex, full wrap tip on the edges, 1/2" vds on top of the edges on the side, the fat vds in the tip and tail. 1 layer in the tip, two in the tail,...

Someone should go to this. Maybe we should start a scholarship fund. Or maybe one of these university materials science courses could sponsor someone.

The black stripes on top are 1" plain weave 5.6 oz carbon fiber tape. There is also a piece of that running full length down the center under the core. Yes, the press is sorta scary. Originally I could do two skis at once, but the power in my garage will not handle enough heater to cover the wh...

Just finished these. Too bad it's Summer. Had a little problem with epoxy not going everywhere it was supposed to, but I hope it will be ok.

Sorry if this seems to be spam, i thought it would be of interest to the members of the forum Dynastar Unveils How Skis Are Made on... "How It's Made" For the first time ever a ski company will show the world how its skis are made on the highly-acclaimed How it’s Made television show. The ...

Anyone had any luck recycling unused waste material, i.e.: excess base material left after cutting out base, excess top sheet and sidewall material, un-epoxied scrap fiberglass and carbon cloth? I hate to just send all that stuff to the dump.

I just opened my gallon of QCM epoxy, for the first time, which has been patiently waiting for more than a year for me to have time to build again, and I had a gallon of waxy semi cured, I guess, resin. Perhaps it got too hot in my garage. Luckily I had a resin kit from snowboardsupplies.com , which...

G-Man -

Thanks for the heads up. That's why I hire an electrician to work on my house.

G-Man - I was wondering about your specific set up. I also have two 3" x 36" heating blankets, 5 amps each. My controller has an internal 10 amp relay. I was wondering, when wiring this together, if I should put the blankets in series or parallel. At first I thought in series, which is eas...

This is an interesting discussion, and I am curious how heating only on the Top only will affect camber. I was thinking of heating only on the top because it would make the problems of core alignment and all that easy to deal with, i.e just use a few nails like in an unheated press. My mold has 20 m...

Where did you measure the temperature? On the bottom sheet covering the heaating pads or somewhere else?

cool prebending method.

Well, you don't have to flame treat the base material because it's already prepared for bonding on one side, and as for flame treating regular sidewall materials, G-man's posts scare me.
