Hmm - that's exactly what I was going to try Chris-grr. I have seen them do something like that in the J Skis vid so I will keep trying.

digital printing
Does anybody have any experience of UV digitally printing topsheets. I am planning on using ICP 2117 000 (= transparent ABS- TPU top sheet). Before printing do I have to prime the surface (if so what with) or can I just an it through the printer? Am getting some confused messages from the manufactur...

Lay up sequence - carbon next to wood
Hello everyone I seem to remember that someone told me that in a lay up, it is best to have the FG next to the core rather than the CF - something to do with differential expansion and contraction rates between the wood and CF? Am I right in thinking this, and does putting the CF next to the core ma...

I've done all sorts of shit things - bases the wrong way round in the mould, polishing through the veneer, slipping with the router, getting the angle of the router wrong (so there is virtually no ski left) and best of all leaving what looked like a set of keys under the veneer when pressing - I sti...

Tip spacer attachement
Hello everyone - I am becoming very frustrated with my inability to ensure that the tip spacer doesn't move during pressing. 4 out of 5 times everything goes well and the junction between the core and space is spot on and then something moves and although it doesn't ruin the ski is annoys the heck o...

Top sheet alternative
Hello everyone - I am making a pair of skis for someone for Christmas and have realised that I have no clear topsheet left and can't get any in time
Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative - I don't want to go down the veneer route.
Thanks

Interesting thread - I use only vacuum and have bought a commercial vacuum table - big platen with a hinged frame on top that houses a natural rubber membrane. I use a separate wet lay table and wet out the layers in reverse order and then put them to one side as I work my way down the stack. I then...

colouring resin
Hello everyone My normal lay up means that the last layer before the top sheet is uni CF. I am beginning to use more translucent topsheets that work best with a light substrate therefore having uni CF underneath doesn't bring out the best in them. I need to make the black cf white/light what do you ...

Interesting re-reading this thread and comparing it to some of my experiences and what I have been advised: I was told to put the carbon next to the wood in my layups - I never questioned the wisdom but it seems to work fine. I use biax glass and uni CF (250gm)in my normal lay up. I have 2 cores as ...
