When they can give a bit of a closer time frame I'll post it here. Looks like they might move enough to keep it stocked in future.

How well does it withstand abuse?

Snowboards look great after a season. Veneers on the skis and splits take a bit of abuse. Mainly from skinning up.

I use foam rollers. 3 coats then a light buff with fiber pad to take the shine down a bit

My current problem surface very easy to scratch up similar to car paint. Also if poked with ski poles that spot start chipping/dent in topcoat. Not to mention damage from edges when skis hit each other or one ski across the top of another make nasty looking scratch/cut

It does good but still chips if it's thick. You want a thin coat. Nothing will take the abuse that nylon or PBT will in regards to chipping or denting in the top coat.. It's just the nature of the material.

I understand that. Currently I'm not ready to go with nylon top sheet. Trying to find better topcoat compared to what I got.

IMO you can't really go wrong with CLR. It's a great product.

How about SLR with very thin fiberglass something like 2 or 3 ounces. Fiberglass reinforcement will make top surface extremely durable and will minimize chipping. I understand it's extra step in the process but might be good alternative to nylon also in this approach any damage much easier to repair

That's what I've always done. Still chips.

For now I have no plans to make anymore skis and want to see how the current PU finish will work. In the future if you don't mind I'll come back to this discussion
