No, it's a "poor mans cassette" , just to keep the bases in place. Only in tip and tail. I just used a metal shears.

Saturday night Late build.
Finished the second pair of this "batch", "The Wolverines". I changed the top sheet to white. Bad idea! White top sheet and carbon fiber don't mix. They probably will if you have a plan/process for it. Now there are a lot of black fibers all over the top sheet. Anyway, both pair came out well (except for the finish thou..) Very good characteristics. Not too stiff and very good torsional rigidity. The white par has the core with Poplar, Ash and Paowlonia (30% each) and Quad-axial CF! 600g/m². But since the core is very light, 575g, the CF was probably needed. The whole ski weighs 1600g. I don't know, but it feels like a light ski. The Black ones are heavier and feels like a normal ski 1775g.
All n all I'm happy. Need to work more an the finish business. The mechanics was over expectations! And also used the "Sick-Fit" method for the edges!
Now I have tools for the rest of the builds this year! Now I will take a week off from ski buiilding. Back in the work shop in about a week!
Cheer!
PS. They will be post-finished later... ;-)
