hmmm ill have to check that out

I need help with ptex tip spacers. Epoxy never really sticks very well to them and my skis always delaminate. I think i am flame treating them correctly so any tips on other fixes would be great.

yeah also it is much thinner at the tip so i think it would be more likely to hold its curvature.
