"peel ply" i thought is the very last layer of fabric to leave a structure on the ski and being peeled of afterwards. the perforated release film, which should be a foil with tiny holes in it, to absorb the excess resin... sorry for my english. what are the expressions in english? in germa...

i ll do a mock up using 2 different epoxy resins next days, after i got my materials package another question: from my wood core upwards the lay up will be something like that: wood core - 800gr/sm triaxial glass - printed linen fabric - 100gr/sm glass fabric - peel ply(something out of nylon) - per...

I would say try covering your graphic directly with some light fiberglass (4-6oz), your graphic will be visible right thru the glass once saturated with epoxy, and then cover that with a "peel ply" or some sheet of plastic that will not bond but will peel away after pressing. like that id...

Why polycarbonate? I bet that would be more susceptible to UV yellowing then the epoxy would be. ...because it should bond pretty well with epoxy and is very resistant. at boardbuildingsupply.eu they sell "duraclear" i think this is a polycarbonate, but there s nothing mentioned about uv ...

what experiences did you make with uv- durabilty and the epoxy system mentioned? the graphic layer of my skies will be a white sheet of cotton with black/grey printings on it laminated below a clear polycarbonate topsheet. now i fear that the epoxy could get yellow with uv radiation in teh mountains...

i m going to build a pair of telemark skis with following dimensions: overall length 177cm, 126 - 95 - 114 mm the wood core will be made out of ash, i did some 1:1 mock ups out of other woods with cnc machining but now i m thinking if the core, at a length of 26cm under the bindings area with 11mm i...

what materials do you use for the topsheet? my plan is to have a clear topsheet with a printed graphic below. so the question, double-ply (fabric printed on and covered with something clear...) or something clear were the graphic is already printed on, like pvc, nylon, pe.... i don t know which mate...

the most common methods for mounting bindings is boot center mount or chord center mount, for further information you should check out the web or this forum by search. snoCAD... i ve tried it couple of months ago but there s no place to type in the measurements, you can just drag this tiny buttons t...

hey,
i m looking for a black diamond o1 binding!
ha

i wonder why nobody has problems with bonding the base material!? it's also polyethylen (pe or p-tex) and seems to work well...i don t understand that some ideas about sidewalls: a friend of mine he studies plastic engineering showed me a pp-plate (also pe is available) with a fabric attached to one...

just a short interjection after seraching in the net without results:

what is the difference between "camber" and "bias"???

thx sir

i guess most of you know these guy and his specific telemark ski designs. i am planning to build a pair of skies before the winter comes according to the scottybob idea of ski design. theres one thing i didn t understand on his website's explanation: does every single ski has 2 different radiuses, o...
