Re: titanal layup help
I made a GS pair. I did a write up on it. My research said the titanal should go against the core. I put VDS on both sides of the titanal, but when I did sample layups with and without VDS both bonded fine. But I went with VDS for insurance and provide a little bit of damping.

Re: woodcore thickness
you can use this spreadsheet that somebody created awhile ago. Its a great help. But I found that it only gives a good starting point because the numbers it gives you wont have a lot of meaning until you make the ski and ski on it.

Re:
Love it Steve!! I may finally play with some metal this season. For me I'd probably recess the metal in the core. Maybe a 2.5"wide strip down the center. I'd like to cut out a mesh pattern like the Nordicas a couple years ago but I have to figure out the CNC part of that. I get the McNichols M...

I measured the core and it’s 10mm under foot. I raced on it last week in our beer league and it was good. Conditions were typical frozen granular with a hard base underneath. It held excellent! I was really happy with it. They engaged turns smoothly and good grip in the turn. It’s fun to free sk...

Some of my links worked and some didn’t. But soon photobucket will require you to pay a monthly fee. What really bothered me about them is they stopped the hot links without notice, at least I never got one. Plans start at $4.48 a month. It’s cheap but they just turned me off. It’s going to ma...
