Is anyone using any other top sheets other than like Isosport or thin durasurf. basically other than things meant for top sheet.

I tried using HDPE that I abraided and flame treated, it worked ok but will peel eventually, that was in a vacuum mold, maybe once my press is done it will be better but not good enough.

I thought maybe a clear polyester from like mcmaster might bond better. Anybody try any other readily available material.

thanks

I have not tried anything yet, but I know somw ski companies use nylon.

Does anybody know where one could buy nylon top sheet material?

Varnish straight on the glass. Very clear and light compared to any plastic type stuff. Also done thin durasurf, durable but not too clear.

yea our next attempt will be to mold with a removable top sheet and then spray Polyurethane. We'll see how it goes.

i made good experiences with topsheet made of ABS. it was the most durable i found so far...
