Hi, Is the core dried using a separate heat cycle prior to use? Your boards come out concave, but flattern out when subject to a second cycle. Does this mean the topsheet is flat and become concave? Could you provide a sense of the width of the edge rebate and how the core is held within the cassett...

Just building skis. The machine works as well - it hits its mark. The fibre is heated before it is dipped, the epoxy is held at a constant temp - indirect heating. The dipped fabric is nipped and compacted as it is moves through the final set of rollers. The accuracy of the final set of rollers is k...
