Press heating

Post by Bati »

Hello,

I'm in process of making my first press (maybe the first press in Chile). I've read her there is a lot of difference when curing the resin under heat, but at the cost of it and considering is my first attemp, i'm considering seriously.

As i understood, heat cured resin should mean stronger adhesive propierties and a harder resin. Does it means you could get a lighter ski with less resin without compromising strenght? or a stiffer ski without adding weight?
So, from your experience, how different can result a ski without a heated press?

Thanks, Emilio.
