doughboy I would normally agree with you, but the search function on this website is almost useless, so it's kind of hard to find the information you want

best way to search this site is with google.

search topic site:www.skibuilders.com hit enter

Short answer is yes or no.

You can run both blankets off of 1 heat controller, but then one blanket may get hotter than you desire depending on where your TC is.

If you can afford to you should definitely have 2 controllers if you have 2 blankets. If you can only afford 1 controller set up then your TC should be on the bottom. If it's on the top you will overheat the bottom blanket. Of course this means your top blanket won't be getting as hot, and you will therefore be inducing camber.

well that definitely makes things easier

wait if you have only one blanket it will make the board have more or less camber?

[SkiTheNortheast]

it depends on what side you put it on. If you put it on the top, it will give it less camber. If you put it on the bottom, it will give you more camber. Think of the heat pad pushing away the ski from wherever it is.
