Yeah, that's true. I have four bCores (the ones with balsa and pawlonia) that I haven't used yet. They might be a good mix with the CF triax. :) I have mounted a pair of Marker Kingpin on these (tot. 2300g/ski). Good colour match! :) https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1668/26682089946_b1b335f4fd_b.jpg

OAC 2015/2016

I know it's alittle late for this journal but I have to keep the "pace". I didn't plan to build that much this year, but things change late in the season. I got some attention in the local media an all of a sudden I have gotten (not alot) but some requests for next season. So I better prep...

When you say larger camber, is it the same, less or more than the former? Ok, more camber than with FG. Not to mention the extra epoxi it "drinks"! I haven't focus that much on theory here, it's more of observations from my side. Interesting if it has a shrinking potential also...I though...

That might make sense but then why do my carbon skis have twice the camber as my glass skis.... My experience as well. CF, not my best friend. I made a pair of "lightweight" skis last year with CF. I got hold of a piece of titan around 800mm long. Perfect for binding reinforcement...I tho...

Spruce and knot free... does it combine? :)
If yes, I'm willing to test.

I don't think so, but there is some typ of manual interface on the PID. Haven't used it. My cycle: I put the skis in the press. PID set to 80°C, turn on, Takes around 5min to reach 80°C. Set a manual timer to 2h. Take out the skis. Let them cool off. Put them in the "Heat-Box 3000"(not &qu...

It doesn't, the hose just go thru it, it's more off keeping all the control functions in one place. :)

This was one of my best addition to my setup. One PID and two SSR's. One on/off switch. Works with both one-phase and three-phase(sublimation mat). Couldn't resist to put the vacuum meter thru it. The "OAC control-master 3000"! :D

I'm fortunate to have industrial strength pumps that can run for days so actual my experince is some how limited. If your bag is sealed properly, any pump will do...I would say. If it's made for continious run for several hours. No problem. I have no experience of oil less pumps though. Just check s...
