Surveyor’s tape works wonders for powder tails... They come in all different colors and are very reasonably priced. I have a roll of florescent pink that I keep in my boot bag. My only recommendation is don’t use any leash that attaches to your boot or leg. You never can tell when you are going to c...

This may be common sense but I almost screwed up the first base template I made. If you use a paper template be sure that the template is straight before cutting anything. I taped my paper template down to the masonite I planned on using as a router template, as a double check I placed my aluminum s...

I was talking to an owner of a local shop who was raving about his Lib tech skis. As we are getting ready to start pressing a few skis. I thought I would resurrect this old thread on similar design ideas. Has anyone experimented with the “serrated” edge idea yet? Lib tech seems to be the only ones o...

Any comments on the durability of the ink in terms of fade resistance? My brother picked up a few packages of that stuff the other week. We are getting ready to press our first sets this winter. (We were trying to get them pressed before his wedding which was last Friday, didn't quite make it but, C...

Dbtahoe, do you have more info on Hotboxing your skis (a link, or just your process?) I have searched here and on TGR, and while I have found lots of discussion on whether or not it is “worth it” I have not found much info on the process of this method of waxing. I am very interested and would love ...

Duckfooted binding mount
I was reading an article on the hendryxskis web page. (Entry 2006-07-26 Duckstance rules! If you have tried it, you’ll never go back! Ask Seth Morrison!) and was intrigued. http://www.hendryxskis.se/home.htm I guess my question is has anyone set up their bindings duckfooted? (Alpine or Tele?) It see...

Thanks Hafte, I was planning on screening onto a colored silk or a light weight flannel fabric that would add color to the top of the ski. I had not thought about screening directly to the glass layer. My concern though still is that the silk screening process may prevent a good bond during the lay ...

Based on your screen name I am assuming that you are a snowboarder so I am afraid I can answer your question directly. However, I can share what I have done in looking for design ideas for my future skis. I have researched and compared the dimensions of several skis (or snowboards) that I either lik...

Kam, First of all thanks for all the work you guy’s have done and the info that you have shared. I have read the article on screen printing and it is an option I am defiantly considering. However I was thinking that more consistent (and possibly more complex) graphics are possible with a professiona...

Silk Screening Graphics?
In looking into different options for adding graphics to our skis I began a conversation with a co-worker whom has ties to a silk screener. Does anyone have any experience with silk screening graphics onto fabric prior to laying up? I assume the process will be similar to an iron-on (discussed in an...
