I really want to keep with my design of wood topsheet and engraving... but I don't want to put out skis that don't hold up after 2 seasons - really concerns me that most anything you put on top of skis will get chipped by edges (I guess...

Hey thx for the tip on the Eastwood 2k spray can - this seems like a good option for me to pursue right now.
