I would absolutely hate to have no place to go if this server completely shits itself. I've gotten loads of info off of here and am at the point now where I feel comfortable giving back with more info that could help someone else. I have plenty of server space. So if people are serious about startin...

internal server error and a double post.

"Unfortunately, OCV Technical Fabrics no longer makes the CDB200. This was a product from the New Braunfels facility which closed in 2008."

Just received that from Rob, the Key Accounts manager at Owens Corning.

I dont' have any problems visually with the FSB stuff. You have to look extremely hard to see any of the threading/stitching or strands.

Sent you a PM though.

If there is some issue with money to keep the site running, it’s not an issue. I’ll take care of it. Forever. Just someone let me know what needs doing. I am also more than willing to support financially if it comes down to that. This forum has become quite the family and it must persist. I know th...

Whats the cost for a Pallet? Gotta be at least 5K. Dang. I know a roll of the 20oz triax from Fiberglass Supply is $843.75. the 22oz triax is $779.70. Without shipping/freight costs of course. I was planning a roll of the 20oz triax. I'm not to keen on the 50" widths but Cutting isn't a huge d...

I think to get direct from OC if they still even make it, you have to buy an entire "pallet", which I think is 4-5 x 50" full rolls. Each roll is about 250-300 lbs. Whats the cost for a Pallet? I've been using the 20oz triax from Fiberglass supply and I really like it. I'm about to o...

yep, looks like that's the problem...i'll probably switch epoxy to a system from entropy soon, so we'll see how that one works out. in the meantime it doesn't really bother me that i have to screenprint the back of my graphics in white. plus i'll have to continue doing so anyway since i use beech f...

This is what I get for color and whites. I didn't color correct for the light form the lamp next to it. In daylight, its pretty close to white and it doesn't feel like it has a yellow tint. It just feels a bit "off". It doesn't pop like something sublimated would. Which is the big reason I...

Hmm. Seems to me your epoxy has a stronger yellow tint then mine. It seems also that wood shows through more the whites more then mine do as well. Probably because the wood your using has a much darker grain than my bamboo. I'll post up a picture in a minute to show you how my whites come out. I hav...

the HP C6569C paper has arrived! :) completely different finish from the stuff i got from the print shop. their paper has a smooth, almost glossy, plastic-like coating that would never bond (imo). the HP roll looks and feels like regular printer paper, just a bit heavier...it's hard to believe that...

Does this "Heavy Coated" paper add much weight to the planks? I plan on building some touring skis and splitboards so I want to keep the weight down but this sounds like the route I want to go for graphics. amidnightproject - You said you used to print the graphics out on a 8.5 x 11"...

In my experience, if you use any kind of a paper or ink that produces a shine or a gloss other than the matte finish, you will have bonding issues. Another example is when my friend wanted to use tissue paper for a colored graphic and we had to redo the topsheet due to NO bonding at all. I am about...

i got some coated paper from a print shop today and it looks pretty smooth on both sides...not sure if this will bond well. is the link to the HP paper the exact paper you use? is your paper coated on both sides? what's the finish like? The Heavy Coated paper doesn't really have a "coating&quo...

I use paper too and works awesome. The only complaint I have is that there sometimes are white spots on the graphic. They seem to go away when I use a lot of epoxy but you mentioned that you use very little. Do you coat the bottom of your topsheet with epoxy before laying it up? That is the only is...
