1.7mm thick base. Want to buy.
I am looking around for some thick base material preferably in neon green. If anyone has any or can point me in the direction of someone who does I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Those of you who have done wood sidewalls before. Did you have to rough up the core/ sidewall material pretty good to get a good bond between them. I just sanded down the side of the core to get the kinks out, but I don't want it to try and glue together smooth. I thought of a rasp to both inside ar...

First pair finally blew up.
After 6 days of hard skiing, I found my failing point. I used to sections of sidewall on both sides, so it had white going 1/3 of the ski and green going 2/3. I went off a cliff and caught a rock and rolled, blowing just the sidewall off the ski, it was waving in the wind behind me as I skied the re...

Who all is doing die cut bases by hand? I am going to do one in my next pair of skis, wondering if anyone has some good DIY tips. The xacto knife I have sucks and needs new blades. So I actually just freehanded the cut with a utility knife. I am cutting a lot of rounded corners and tight curves, so ...

Wanted: 1.7mm step edge
I need some thick edge. The 2.2mm or 1.7mm step edge to use with the rest of my thick base material. I talked to CPM or whatever-the-@#% it is called. I just need enough for one pair of skis. If you have 4 meters, I'd love to buy it from you.

Wood 'tip fill'
I just ordered a big board of (White boy name) Tigerwood for sidewall material. Did some research, seems to be naturally waterproof like Ipe and all those others. But, has anyone tried to make a piece to wrap around the core for 'tip fill'? It seems like it would de-laminate very easily, but I reall...

So back to the original topic. My first pair of skis turned out concave on the base. That was with p-tex sidewall (UMHDWWHP I always forget the order of letters) and aspen core. Maybe I just didn't press hard enough. Unheated, 60psi, pretty lousy job with the layup. Profiling 2nd pair of skis, I cut...

Is anyone using thick base and edge still?
My first pair of skis had 1.7mm thick base and edge. Now I am having a hard time finding that thick of edge/base. Who knows what I am obviously not finding out? Who knows of suppliers that carry fat edges?
