Airex is another example of PVC foam. Airex is made by Baltek which is also making high quality end grain balsa. I know Davide has been playing around with balsa. His first test wasn't very successful because the balsa wasn't very homogenic. He planned to order some at Baltek but until now I didn't ...

A Hybrid core could be done but the same problem will occur in the foam. The result is probably better but you have to keep in mind both parts will have quite different results under stress and what will happen on the contact surface between both? Most of the time a small kind of aluminum alloy plat...

I would like to make a foam core myself. There are some things to keap in mind however. Foam microcells or easier to collapse and therefore if the ski bends extremely it will damage some microcells. I presume the result will be some camber and stiffness loss in that case. In my eyes foam cores are m...

How to cool after heating
Hi,
I've been reading quite some time in a lot of the threads on this forum but I wasn't able to find a good explanation of the best way to cool down a heated ski.
Is it in the press (naturally or forced), out of the press, ....
Maybe we can collect your opinions on this matter in this topic.

Pressurized vacuum press design
Hi, I've been working on a completely new press design. It's not completely finished but here is the idea. I would use a HDPE100 pipe with a minimal diameter from 280 which has an internal diameter from 229. At the ends I would attach a removable blind end. with 2 connection points at 1 side and 2 a...

The small piece at the binding area on top of the carbon doesn't look like glass. As he applies it on the second ski you can see it doesn't bend through and he presses the piece on the ski with his thumbs. It wouldn't surprise me if it is titanal or something else which can hold the screws better. A...

The balsa end grain option looks very promising. A ski core would be about 100 to 200 g based on the information I was able to find here:
