I tested my coreprofiler with a piece of plywood because I thought I would be able to see any problems better since the different layers spread out like a physical map after the core is profiled. Worked nice. I read the datasheets of the bcomp cores. Thats why I stick to ash for this season. Before ...

One other thing about the plywood: I didn't trust in its ability to hold the bindingscrews so used inserts. To get them in the right place with the right depth with my basic tools needs a lot of patience and time. So now I prefer spending more money on ash and saving by not using inserts. Makes a be...

Hi rsotak, I made my last ski without topsheet. I just coated the triax glass with an aditional layer of epoxy. The result were two things I didn´t like at all: little pinholes in the coating. Maybe these can be prevented with an aditional layer of thin glass. And the glass chips of in little pieces...

Thats just the point: I had built version 1. I wanted to attach the vacuum foil to the top. The problem was that the mold was to short and I had leaks at the top- and tailend. I don´t think that there would have been any trouble with compression of the mold because the air was able to press under th...
