Had some carbon left overs and I had to make something of it. This time a pair of race skis :D I put a clear top sheet over the carbon and this is what it looks like fresh baked with the protective film still on. http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/deepskis/F62B2D4E-7E14-4761-BD02-323382F420A5-...

Or this..

Very nice work!

Hi!
Duraclear is sanded and flame treated before shipping. Just cut the piece and start laminating. If that does not work, there is a problem with your resin.

550g/ski is a lot..?

can you tell us more about them ?

Thanks!
I built them for my 2 year old son. They are 90 cm, twin tip, about 90,65,90 and the core profile is something like 2-6-2 mm.

Heading up north tonight with some friends for some serious ski testing this weekend!

Now I am curious. Are you saying they are faster without wax? I assume you did not win... Stenmark on unwaxed skis?

Ha ha! Clever! Are you using a "Kuzminsickel"? If not, Google it. Very interesting.

I allready love it. Very fast and does a great job! Saves me a lot of time!

Just held them in my hand and they felt heavy. Maby the numbers show different..

added weight for dampening and ease production?

I think it could be. Those skis are very heavy!
