Re: Pressing a nice Cap - first try
In my current project I was lucky I did it like this: A miscalculation led to a too weak tip. Just put some extra fibreglass over it, now its fine. Thats where the strange looking FG comes from. The tip half of the ski got an extra layer of FG because it was just too soft after the first press. Qui...

Pressing a nice Cap - first try
Hey all, as I don't want to use sidewalls (don't want to produce waste in the planer, if its only wood its not waste but put to good use) but still want to protect the woodcore, cap is the way to go for me. So, 2 pressing cycles: 1) Normal ski pressing, afterwards routing and sanding the sides and t...

Made a small video of the contact point moving. This ski has a (lets use the K2 expression) all terrain rocker, meaning that the contact points move inward quite a bit when pressure is applied to the ski. Here is the video: http://www.spame.de/skibau/MVI_0913.MOV Tried to capture the camber profile ...

Hi, pressed my first ski with long curing epoxy and top heat only (a heat box, not a blanket). First impression is that it worked well, ski has about 50% of the camber of the mould. The last quite similar ski pressed with normal epoxy lost all of its camber. So I will use long curing epoxy for now -...

when the weight of the skier/snowboarder is applied the contact points both move inward on the ski making the end contact points inward of the widest point on the ski/snowboard? This is what actually happens with every camber ski. Its not so much about the location of the widest point, but more abo...

20 mins to set up? Im finished in 10 max Wow, then ure way better with the cramps and superglue than me. For me it always ended up having the fingers glued to the edge and the edge not being properly aligned to the base in the sidecut section ;) Do you have full wrap edges? and 10mins per ski or fo...

My way of gluing the edges to the base
Hi, wanted to show you my way of gluing the edges to the base. For me its much easier than fiddling around with the cramps and superglue. First, I use the ski model and a lot of small excess parts of the base and glue them around the the ski model. In here, the base + the edge fits perfectly: http:/...
