SOCREP DuraClear Topsheet

I got some SOCREP DuraClear Topsheet, and the first test piece had some tiny airbubble underneath the surface. Anyone have any suggestions how I could press without the bubbles ? First test piece looked great other than the bubbles, but I worry about the bonding a bit. The finish looks like a pair o...

Anyone using ABS sidewalls?

I've been using UHMW sidewalls, and I like them, but I feel like the finish isn't as clean as I'd like. I'm using a cantilevered router to trim them, but they aren't as smooth as I'd like to see. Any suggestions on this would be helpful.
Would ABS be easier to finish? What are the pros and cons?

Something else to look at is Ecopoxy Systems. I've built 9 pairs with them, and I have about 50 days on my main pair of skis. No delam issues, or any signs of breaking down with any of the pairs. It is also great for room temp. curing. I don't use heat, and everything has worked out great. This comp...

Sno Cad appears to be down again. I also have boardcrafter, but the sidecut radius is definitely off on Boardcrafter. Does anyone have a good replacement software? Solidworks is a bit out of my budget.

EcoPoxySystems

Here's another option to think about. I've been using Ecopoxy Systems since I started building 2 years ago. I was looking for something that wasn't going to have any dangerous effects with long term use, (certified green and non-toxic). I was a bit skeptical at first, but I'm super happy with the re...

In utah you can get it from Evco House of hose. I'm sure most cities have a hose and rubber supplier. It doesn't specifically have to be "firehose" just enough psi rating to take the pressure that you want to press.

I'd be interested in buying some if you get it worked out. I've been considering using some 7000 grade alum in very thin gauge, since titanal feels like it is un-obtainable. I'm not sure what thickness, but i've used .032in. 7000 grade aluminum and it was way too stiff. I think somewhere around half...

i made mine from 2 wooden rolling pins and bolted them to a box, and simply roll my bases through. It works great. I think i spent $15 to build it. looks a lot like your pic above. I haven't posted before, so i can't put up pics yet. but I'll send one when i am allowed.
