thanks for all the tips.
My slight delams are downwards not outwards. Its fine in a rocker tip/tail as the curve is large radius, but is more pronounced in a normal tip/tail where the radius is tight.
I have done a heated bend around the tip of my next pair to try a full wrap.

Heating Edges for Bending
Hello everyone From my experience with 3/4 wrap when the edge is being forced into a tighter tip/tail curve the tendency of the edge to spring back to flat leads to very minor delamination with use. Iggyskier from ON3P recently posted about detempering the ends of the edges to get better pressing in...

I don't know that much about snowboards but I think that is going to be stiff. A 160cm ski with 13mm thick core tapering to 3mm is prob going to be pretty stiff. Just reading back through the thread some of the other guys that have built splits said that you don't need to significantly increase core...

We came across a beer truck accident when we were at uni. Luckily it was in much nicer conditions than wintery swamps.

We had someone lined up to get some CPM in Australia a while back but it never came through. All the suppliers are surfboard oriented. I am using Sicomin SR8500/SZ8525 - it is French and imported by Lavender composites in QLD. Costs a S@**load + $110 dangerous goods surcharge on shipping. That would...

I think it would be way easier to create a polyurethane sidewall on the core before you layup (trough method in the polyurethane sidewall thread). That way you have the sidewall bonded with epoxy to the other layers. If you rout it out later and pour in polyurethane it is only the strength of the po...

thanks gav I didn't get that far down the list - kept reading about having to heat part A to 65C and part B to 80C and then keep it heated to cure and it all seemed too hard. It looks like it is available from Adelaide casting/moulding supplies so i might check it out and have another go. Are you us...

thanks for the tips. I used a torch on the second pour and it did pop all the surface bubbles, but they just kept bubbling up from the depths after the flame moved on. I think it is either an incompatible sealer or poor sealing. I also blew the channels out with compressed air a few minutes before p...

Poured my first polyurethane sidewalls today. Didn't really go well. I was using smooth on smoothcast 305 as gozaimas has used (full disclosure is that I bought it 3 years ago and hadn't opened it - probably not ideal for polyurethane, but the air tight seals were still intact on top of the bottles)...

Your other option is to plane the sidewall block separately on the jig. Then once they are profiled rip them on a table saw into the strips that you need. This method is good if you plan to make several cores with the same profile. In production a lot of companies fix these sidewall pieces onto the ...

Sad your planer jig didn't work out well it looks really well built. You need the sand paper under the core to be as wide or wider than the core otherwise when it goes through the planer the edges of the core flex downwards and then you end up with a top that isn't flat and edges that are thicker th...
