Nice job!

How did you paint the base, if I might ask...?

Oke thnx.
I’m going to have to order som new epoxy than.
The edges look bad in the photo but i think that wont be a problem.

Will see how that works out .
It are my first pair so i hope i make all the mistakes now so my next pair will be spot on.

So i dded up again. I was being lazy and though i could put my new made skis in a mold and put them in the sanding planner. Spoiler; not a good plan. https://ibb.co/qWkXfQ5 So i’ll cut out the peice and gleu a new one in its place. But wat glue should i use? Epoxy or can i use PU of a D3 wood glue? ...

Nice!

Ill try and upload some pics of what it ended like

Thanks.

I was planning to use similar layup on bodem and top side of the core, flax and some carbon strips.
And an extra piece of carbon on top on the tail or top, but just for the look of it

Thanks for all the info, ill leave the exposed core for the pro’s

So that the top sheet can gleu up to the fiber under the veneer?

That might work, i have read that topshot on veneer dusnt stick very wel.

I’m going to think about using glas on top of the core instead of carbon or flax!

Thnx mate!

Hey!

I was wondering if it was possible keep te core visible after layup.
I was planning on using flax and carbon underneath the core and flax on top, but flax is not see trough.
Correct me if im wrong but glassfiber is?

Or would i be better of maken a wood veneer top?

Thanx!

So, i just made some ski cores. It are my first ones and i’m looking for what materials to use. I used scraps from my woodshop, yellowpine, padouck and ayous (the only real lught wheigt wood i can find here in belgium) But the ayous is splitting on me! https://ibb.co/kJm56vd https://ibb.co/QC1gBHV h...

Nice!
Vacuum or press?

Ik ben van Ieper.
Laat weten hoe het je bevalt!

Owkey, thanks.
Yeah i know it is slow.
I have 2 of them so i would use both of them on oppisit sides, that will be a bit quicker but not like the pump you just said

I wil give it a few test runs befor i try it on the skis so i hope to find “all” the leaks.

Hey, I’m new here, from Belgium. (Sorry for the bad english) I had the idea of making my own skis for some time now. I will give it a try this year! I think vacuum pressing is the easy way to go, but im not sure about the pump. (Like a lot of beginners around here, so i have read in all the topics) ...
