Ski Building Supplies-Canada

Hey Guys,

Without the ability to get across the Canada/US border to pick up parcels, are there any ski building suppliers in Canada you could recommend?

Re: How Long To Press Skis with No Heat

Yes, I checked the https://www.snowboardmaterials.com website and it says 8hrs minimum, but 24hrs recommended. I will be pressing in our shop where the temp is 65F. After removing the skis from the press, we'll wait a week or so before starting to clean them up.

Thanks again all!

Re: How Long To Press Skis with No Heat

Well duh, yes I'll touch base with Lindsay at https://www.snowboardmaterials.com where I bought the epoxy. While I'm at it, how long should we let the skis be after pulling them out of the press and before we start cleaning up the flashing? I seem to remember seeing something about 5 days. Thanks Fo...

How Long To Press Skis with No Heat

My son and I are going to press his first pair of skis tomorrow and I am not having any luck searching for how long we should leave the skis in the press with no heat. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I assume it was just a typo. Did you mean to say, "Just be sure they are NOT in your mounting zone", or?

Re: Equipment for sale

Hey There,

Is the edge bender still available? I would need it shipped to WA.

Thanks!
