Major base repair

Post by Jdline »

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.

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? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanx!

You dded your edges too. What happened? Did you fall asleep leaning on the grinder? ;)


Ah i see, sanding planer. Good idea, but you need to grind wet otherwise the material is overheating

Definitely epoxy. From the looks of it you will need to cut out the damaged parts of the base and the edges too, otherwise the repair patch base material will sit higher than the ground down part of the edges.

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.
