Hello everyone! I am making a pair of skis with maple cores and was wondering if anyone has ever painted graphics directly onto their cores. I'm using clear p-tex for the topsheet so it may turn out a little waxy looking, but any suggestions paint type would be great. THanks!

You can do the graphics with colored felt pens on the wood, but you'll need to lay a quick dry epoxy over the ink to set it so it doesn't smear and mess with your bond when you pour the resin.
