I finally caved and bought a large chunk of hose online and have plenty of extra for sale. it is 4" diameter hose that lays flat at about 6.5". It is rated to 45psi and is completely made of rubber. I have pics if anyone is interested. Price is negotiable you can send me a pm if interested.

I've pressed a few skis with sheets of fiberglass and then adding the epoxy but is there anything different that i should expect with the precured stuff. Its ready to bond on both sides. Any suggestions or knowledge would help.

So i got an e-mail from snowboardmaterials.com about some new pre-cured fiber glass that says it has perfect glass to resin content and that it was formed under tension. Is this a good idea to uses in place of puting your own fiberglass and resin? I havent heard of anything like this before so anyth...

I got my bolt on valve for my bladder from this site and it was quick and easy

I'm getting ready to glue my wood together so that i can profile it. I was wondering what kind of glue everyone is using. I'm thinking of a wood glue but i'm not sure because i have heard that epoxy is good to. Any suggestions on type of glue and any certain brands of glue would help a lot! Thanks

I went to Home depot for my mdf board and any lumber shop should carry mdf. Shipping would be super expensive because mdf is really heavy so i would try to stay away from having it shipped from a online store.

So as i get closer and closer to pressing my first pair of skis i keep finding more and more things that need to be done. I have been talking to some of the guys at Sun Valley Ski Tools or SVST and they have been telling me that a heat blanket of some kind is a necessity to get all of the air bubble...

Perfect that answered my question. Thanks

Thanks a lot for posting that link. I was able to see the exact part numbers and the quantity of the parts i needed on his web page. It was only 25 dollars and i don't have to use glue to keep it from leaking.

I have finished my press and have my fire hose, now i just need some advise on how to connect my compressor to my hose. Do i need a special valve for the compressor to connect to or what? Any advise or links to sites that sell what i need would be very helpfull. Thanks
