Anyone have a video of them flame treating before layup?

What is the best way to clean up the top sheet after it comes out of the press? Can I use a buffer to with a cleaner or polish to make the top sheet shine? What do you recommend?

thanks

I am interested in buying a heat blanket with controls for use on 110 receptacle. Does anyone have one they would like to sell?

thanks

Do I need to flame treat the tip spacers before layup? (Hopefully not to stupid of a question.)

Thanks

What cleaner do you use to wipe down the p-tex and topsheets before laying up a ski?

thanks

I have never been so frustrated on trying to keep the sidewalls on during planing. I have tried every glue, sanded and flame treated. Even went and used a friends planer that had brand new blades on it, since mine did not seem to work either. I can plane the wood cores just fine. Isn't there a compa...

Is there a company that will put abs sidewalls on my planed wood cores for me?

thanks

I am still having trouble with keeping my plastic sidewalls to stay on when on am profiling my cores. (using the planer method) What grit sand paper are you using to sand the wood core sides before you glue on the plastic? Just looking for any tips to make it work. Also, are you routing down the woo...

I hope someone doesn't might answering this.

thanks

So it is okay to glue the sidewalls to the wood with gorilla glue? I thought I was only suppose to use epoxy?

I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge to us new builders.

thanks for your help!!

Sorry trying to figure this out, are you then epoxying them onto the wood cores, letting them cure and then you build the ski. Isn't it difficult to clamp them together especially at the end of the cores where it is 2 mm thick?

thanks

Is everyone planing the ABS sidewalls when they are attached to the wood core or are you doing it separately. I tried to plane some cores today for the 3rd time and I can not get the abs to stay attached to the wood cores as it goes to the planer. I was close today with only 3 mm to go and then they...

Thank-you for all the help. I cut out my first set of bases today. I used 2 sided carpet tape to hold the ptex to the mold and then cut it with a router.
I will try to post some pictures later.
The information provided was very valuable.

thanks again
