I don't see why it wouldn't work, but you will go through blades fast cutting those materials.

Yeah not going that way, going to keep buying a Quart of 105 and a pint of 206. Which is still about 50 bucks per ski.

Well one ski take about 450grams of epoxy. I have found 32oz or 900 grams for 50 bucks online so that is a set of skis done for 50 bucks.

Been using West System 105 and 206. Went in to a marine store the other day and came upon G/Flex and it seems pretty easy to use 1:1 ratio, it comes in tube, and is has a larger flex than 105/206 which is good for the type of skiing I do. Best part for the picture below is $21.99 a lot cheaper than ...

Yes thats the what I meant with "oily dust". I bought the pump because I need better vacuum for infusion (kiteboard). For normal laminating stuff I would prefer an oil-free pump! Cheers, Christoph Oil free would be nice, but this is just a hobby for me and I'm not looking to dish out the ...

Would inclosing it in a box help to keep the mess down?

oily dust?

to good to be true?

are you talking about off the shelf face grain wood, or still laminating to get vertical grain, but just with 1 species of wood? Going to be using one board of untreated poplar for the core/sidewalls. Going to make it a little thicker to make up for how soft the wood is, along with adding more glas...

That is what I'm going to end up doing. Maple will be to stiff and heavy for the type of ski I'm going to be making. What kind of sidewalls did you use?
