leftover tip fill

dudes... i just realized that the pieces i have left after cutting my tip fill, could be used for you guys making skis possibly, anyway I'll have dimensions of the pieces I have and prices. I got this shyt for cheap so I'm not going to mark it up just figure its a way to clear out what I got without throwing it away = recycling = greener planet, and maybe it will put just a couple dollars in my pocket so I can get some beers.

Anyway its 2mm crown uhmw, sanded/flamed both sides. They'll look like half circles, since it's the remaining pieces after I cut what I use for my own tip fill. I'm sure they're enough for ski tips but I'll measure them and take photos.

As time goes on I'll only have more of these. So let me know if anyone would be interested

here is what the leftovers will look like,

These ones are currently 14.25cm x 23.25cm and i dont know what that curve radius is, take the photo and those two dimensions, and size it to your ski design, and see if it will fit, then contact me!

only dilemna is the following...

Skibuilders sells for 4.99/12" section.

Kam are you running out any time soon? I dont want to screw you by unloading this stuff.

I'll have a good pile of this stuff soon, but I dont want to take away business.

Well you are selling scrap material for a nominal cost so I doubt you are undercutting skibuilders. I don't suppose they derive a ton of revenue from this more of a service/hobby thing and so they can order in bulk to support their ski building habit.
Scrap happens you are just a smarter snowboard builder who can do something with the waste and help the community.

I was going to make the same offer here shortly. I am starting to do almost full length cores so I will have a bunch of these also.

$1 ea plus shipping sound good? Let me stockpile a few first I'll let you know.

Bumping this back to the top,
$1 ea plus shipping.
So keep in mind shipping, probably $5 - $8.00 for a small order... possibly 10 - 12 for a couple dozen pieces.

What I mean is dont waste your time buying 2 of them ;).

I think i have 40-50 pieces. In the brownish red shown above, and natural, both 2mm, and all measuring near what is photographed.

ps, you will have to CLEAN these, they've been kicked around a bit.

You may or may not have to re flame them, i would do a test before a full build...
I've never had to re-flame anything that came from crown to date.
These were abraded and corona treated on both sides from crown.

I tossed so many of these when I closed, wish I'd thought about giving them away (. Always flame! :D

bump it to the top!

These are still available,
I did have an inquiry about the clear ones, i have 14ea. of the clear ones and havent heard anything for a week.
I think i have about 20+ of the red/brown ones.

$1 ea plus shipping, itd be nice if someone would take these all off my hands.

I'll have these continuously as we keep building.

Interesting but I just order fill from crown, and I needed black anyway.
